POSTPONEDIn 1923, shortly after receiving the Nobel Prize, Albert Einstein arrived in Palestine in his first and only trip to the Holy Land. For the next 12 days, he recorded his impressions of the emerging Jewish State in a personal journal which wasn’t meant to be published. Using this never before seen travel log, EINSTEIN IN THE HOLY LAND traces Einstein’s historic visit, revealing the human side behind the genius.

Einstein was also an accomplished amateur violinist. He once said, “If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” Santa Fe Institute Professor Cris Moore joins us after the film for a talk about “Einstein, Music, and Math”. Moore, in addition to his contributions in the field of mathematics and computer science, wrote and co-hosted the award-winning NMPBS documentary, “The Majesty of Music and Math” which also featured the Santa Fe Symphony.

EINSTEIN IN THE HOLY LAND is presented in conjunction with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale’s ROARING ’20S program which is on tap this summer. Einstein epitomizes the genius of the period.
