Join us at the Rainbow Room on November 2nd for captivating musical performance led by Grammy-award winning musicians and an inspiring keynote address as we explore the fascinating intersection of jazz and physics. 

Despite their seemingly disparate natures, physics and music share a multitude of connections that may not be immediately apparent. Stephon Alexander, keynote speaker for the 2023 Friends of IHES Gala, is a unique blend of theoretical physicist and musician who has forged his own path by combining his passions for jazz and research. His work at the intersection of cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, and music cognition has led to groundbreaking insights and a fascinating life story.
