SoundWaves: Origins – The Birth of Everything

Where do we come from? Where does anything come from? This new series of SoundWaves brings together leading academic researchers and live music to explore origins at every scale – from the birth of the universe to the first human communities. Each edition pairs scholars from distinct disciplines with a musical program to answer the oldest questions we know.

This first SoundWaves event of the year launches our year-long exploration of Origins. Part of the Wisconsin Science Festival and Klez Fest Midwest, this event looks at The Beginning of Everything. How did the universe come to be, and how have scientists thought about the universe’s origins in the past? Special musical guests The Klezmatics, perhaps the most important and popular klezmer band of all time, will then look at the origins of klezmer music, followed by a performance that will wow you.

This event is free but registration is required to ensure adequate seating. Reserve your free tickets here!

This event will take place in Collins Recital Hall in the Hamel Music Center.
