About ISOTONE
Isotone forges a collaboration of music and physics into a unique concert series. The name "Isotone" is a double-entendre, referring on the one hand to like tones or musical pitches, while at the same time to a physics term for nuclides with the same number of neutrons. The concerts will be primarily contemporary (avant-garde, 20th and 21st century), though they will include some pre-20th-century music.
Each Isotone concert comprises four distinct efforts:
1. A presentation of the unique sound properties of various instruments through demonstration and performance.
2. A new collaborative work between the instruments of music and the instruments of physics. This will be creative and fun.
3. A work tied to a past physicist, typically through nationality, ethnicity, or inspiration.
4. A new composition honoring the same physicist. Commissions will tie in to a specific physicist in a way to be determined by the composer.
