Music meets volcano! A multi-media presentation and rare Science on Tap performance!

Using our ears as scientific sensors, we can detect subtle signatures of poorly understood volcanic processes. Not to mention trigger our emotions, leading to compelling music.

Earth songs of volcano music and the science behind it, led by volcanologist and violinist Leif Karlstrom. Joining him:

• Todd Sickafoose (Grammy award-winning composer and bass player for Ani DiFranco),
• Idit Shner (University of Oregon saxophone professor),
• Adam Roskiewicz (Grammy nominated with The Modern Mandolin Quartet, as well as work with the Ger Mandolin Orchestra and bluegrass band Front Country), and
• Johnny Rodgers (tuned glass virtuoso). 

Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, drink a pint, and enjoy learning. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don't have to be a science geek to have fun--all you need is a thirst for knowledge! For more information on this event or about Science on Tap, visit Science on Tap OR WA.
