DOT AND THE LINE
FREE CONCERT FOR CHILDREN (preferred ages 8 to 11)
A musical setting by Robert Xavier Rodriguez of the beloved children's story about a frivolous dot who falls in love with a squiggle, only to realize how much the dependable straight line loves her. This multi-media performance, narrated by Jamie Bernstein (at left below), includes video, and is a lively and engaging journey into geometry, art, an enchanting and delirious world of sound. The performance ends with an instrument petting zoo, featuring over 25 percussion instruments that are all used in this performance!

Playing with Numbers: Musical Adventures in Math
Featuring The Dot and the Line by Robert Xavier Rodriguez (CH Resident '00, '11), with its elegant word-play and sly take on shapes, sounds, and relationships, has captivated readers of all ages for decades. Rodriguez’s whimsical and colorful musical setting gives new life to this epic "romance in lower mathematics" by Norton Juster (author of the children's classic, The Phantom Tollbooth). There is an arithmetic certainty that the concert will also include music by Pierre Jalbert and a few surprises! Juster and Rodriguez will on hand to introduce the work, and will join Bernstein for a lively Q&A afterwards.
