The Dialogue’s theme is Improvisation and Modeling: what are the parallels between musical improvisation and climate modeling? Climate scientist, Tapio Schneider, will discuss his work on developing models for climate predictions and their use to adapt to a changing climate. Composer and musician, Kikuko Maruo, will share selections of her choral compositions and discuss her practice of improvising within a framework. This will be followed with discussion exploring the similarities and differences between scientific modeling and musical improvisation. We look forward to your participation.
