Subatomic Mysteries

Subatomic Mysteries is a first-of-its-kind exploration of quantum theory as interpreted by artists and is part of fivebyfive’s 10th anniversary season. Noting a connection that 2025 is also the 100th anniversary year for Quantum Mechanics, the musicians embarked on a quest to collaborate with several groups on a variety of levels.  The desire was to feature the abstract beauty of physics with the expressive power of music and dance. fivebyfive is thrilled to be working with Missy Phfol Smith, Director of the University of Rochester’s Program of Dance and Movement and physicist Antonino Di Piazza of the Laboratory for Laser Energetics.

Both concerts will be preceded by a chat with representatives from the choreographers, composers, and musicians all discussing the collaboration.
