HKUST Public Humanities Lecture

Palestrina Bach fern

I’ll be giving my second talk as part the HKUST School of Humanities public lecture series today, titled The Recursive Genesis of Bach Counterpoint. I’ll attempt to describe how, underneath the obvious similarities between the music of Bach and his historical predecessors, there’s a more intricate, recursive relationship. The talk — which will include fugues, fractals, and ferns — is at 3 PM, at the Hong Kong Museum of History.
