SUMMARY:SoundWaves: Origins - The Spark of Life
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 50th edition of SoundWaves as we explore the Spark of Life! The second installment in the Origins series.\n\n\nIn the 2026-27 academic year\, SoundWaves is exploring Origins – from the start of the universe to how we developed language\, join us for this four-part series as we uncover the origins of who we are. As always\, each lecture is paired with live\, musical performance as it relates to the theme of the evening. \n\n\nIn this second part\, we are diving into the Spark of Life as we celebrate the 50th edition of SoundWaves since it’s creation back in 2011. What do we know about the conditions on Earth when life arose? Might life have come to Earth from elsewhere? How does life adapt to changing conditions? And how does music take shape from an initial motif (its own spark of life) to a complete work? Find out on November 20\, at 7pm in the DeLuca Forum. \n\n\nSoundWaves combines scientific lectures about the world with live classical music performances. Each event revolves around a theme\, exploring it first from many scientific angles and then through the lens of music. The program begins and concludes with a live performance of music related to the evening’s theme.
