A free concert entitled “The Melodious Mystery of Math in Music” will be presented by a string quartet from the local Strings & Things network of musicians at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, at Urbanna Baptist Church at 121 Watling St. The quartet will demonstrate the ways that numerical concepts like intervals, rhythms, and more, play an important part in the music folks love listening to. The concert will include a mix of classical, pop, ballads, and jazz; all with a mathematical twist.
Strings & Things is a network of between 20 and 25 professionally trained musicians in coastal and central Virginia. Members typically play for weddings, receptions, parties, and performances in duet, trio, or quartet combinations.
The membership represents a variety of instrumentation, including violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, and keyboard.
