An article published on La Nuova Sardegna (italian newspaper), about Ingrid Carbone’s participation to the Science Festival in Cagliari.

Here’s the translation.

“For a long time I thought they were two parallel lines, and to tell the truth, that mathematics took away my time from music.” And then? “After some time, I realized that they represented both of me, in my duality. Mathematics is my rational side, music is the more emotional one.”
Pianist and mathematician Ingrid Carbone will explain her “Intertwinings of Music and Mathematics” in the conversation-concert to be held on Monday, November 10th at 5:00 PM in Cagliari, at the Pacinotti Scientific High School.
As part of the 18th edition of the Cagliari Science Festival, the artist and university professor will take students on a journey through history, personal journeys, and the similarities between a mind reading sheet music on a piano and one solving equations with a marker on a blackboard.
“It’s my first time performing in Sardinia,” says Carbone, reached by phone a little late from her appointment. “While I waited, I started playing,”
as always. “In Cagliari, it won’t just be a concert, no, it will be a format that Ingrid Carbone conceived some time ago,
during a tour in China.
“I will outline the connections between music and mathematics. I will talk about my vision. After that, the actual conversation-concert will begin, in which I will play music by Ruggero Leoncavallo and a transcription of Liszt from Schubert,” she previews.
The artist and academic’s guest appearance is part of the Cagliari event, which in this new edition celebrates the concept of “Tramas”: “the complex web of relationships, the network of connections, and the architectural structure that defines and supports every complex system, the essence of interconnection,” according to the presentation of the festival, which runs from today until November 11.
Carbone, an internationally renowned pianist, has performed in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and has recorded for the Japanese label “Da Vinci Publishing”, receiving two nominations at the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) and eight awards from the Global Music Awards for her recordings, which have been widely reviewed by the international specialized press.
