In the framework of the current Musica ex Machina exhibition, EPFL Pavilions invites you to an extraordinary concert exploring the fusion of mathematics, music, and computation, featuring renowned American-Taiwanese pianist, composer, and improviser Kit Armstrong.
Spanning from Renaissance and Baroque counterpoint to computer-generated compositions, the program showcases how mathematical and algorithmic thinking have shaped the evolution of musical composition. The concert includes works by Bach, Chopin, Ligeti, and many more, blending solo piano music, algorithmic pieces for player piano, and interactive human-computer performances.
A former child prodigy, Kit Armstrong earned degrees in music, physics, and mathematics at the Royal Academy of Music, Imperial College London, and Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, amongst other universities. As a renowned concert pianist, he performs at major venues worldwide.
