CONCERT TO CELEBRATE THE MATHEMATICIAN PAUL ERDOS
Numbers and music by Emanuel Pimenta

Budapest. Next August the 13th, 19:00, at the Europa Congress Centre, in Budapest, Hungary, in the ambit of the Symmetry Festival - an international Meeting of Science and Art - the Hungarian composer Sándor Fekete-Kiss will perform the world première of ERDOS X, a musical concert composed by Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta. ERDOS X is a celebration of the famous Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdös disappeared ten years ago (March 26, 1913 - September 20, 1996). Just after his death, Erdös' friends created the called erdos number as a humorous tribute. Paul Erdös alone was assigned the erdos number 0, while his immediate collaborators could claim an erdos number 1, their collaborators have erdos number at most 2, and so on. Emanuel Pimenta took the letters of the names of many erdos numbers and used them as the base for the composition. Those letters designed the music sounds that were transformed and prepared for new transformations in a mathematical non-intentional process, celebrating the principle of mutual collaboration and friendship.
