Many of Bach’s works showed a unusual devotion to economy and concentration, melodic and contrapuntal writing of ravishing beauty derived from a single intricate theme, finding much in little, multum in parvo.
Our program is a collaboration between San Francisco’s historical-instrument Galax Quartet, triple harpist Cheryl Ann Fulton, and award-winning science fiction writer and mathematician Rudy Rucker, who will present his striking images of cellular automata, visually beautiful examples of multum in parvo.
