EINSTEIN’S UNIVERSE – Presented by QSO

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music, I live my daydreams in music, I see my life in terms of music.

Professor Brian Foster and violinist Jack Liebeck interweave music and science in a presentation which links Einstein’s favourite instrument, the violin, with many of the concepts of modern physics that he founded.

Their illustrated talk will cover the grand sweep of modern physics – from Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to the Large Hadron Collider and the Higgs Boson – illustrated with the violin music that Einstein loved to play.

This lecture has been toured by Professor Brian Foster and Jack Liebeck around the world. Their lectures attract fans of classical music who wish to hear Liebeck play Bach and go on to discover that particle physics, which most find intimidating, can be interesting and fun.

Jack Liebeck is a British violinist. In 2010, he won a Classical Brit in the Best Young British Classical Performer category. On the score for the 2011 film Jane Eyre, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, Liebeck was the featured solo violinist. Jack is also the Artistic Director of the festival of music, science and the arts Oxford May Music Festival, staged in the Sheldonian Theatre and other historic Oxford buildings. He plays the ‘Ex-Wilhelmj’ Guadagnini violin dated 1785. He was appointed a professor of the Royal Academy of Music in 2010.

Brian Foster is Professor of Experimental Physics at Oxford and Alexander von Humboldt Professor at the University of Hamburg. He is European Director of the Linear Collider Collaboration at CERN, Switzerland.
