Welcome

We are delighted to be holding these two important events: A one-day workshop celebrating the field of strongly correlated electron systems that is now about 60 years old (SCES@60); followed by a banquet celebrating the 90th birthday of the physicist whose seminal work laid the foundations of SCES*: (DP@90).

SCES@60 will consist of a series of speakers covering the roots of discovery, landmark achievements, and the present status in experiment, theory and computation. We will conclude with a panel to define specific future research directions. Talks will be published on our web site (author discretion) along with notes taken during the panel.

This event culminates in a Birthday celebration for a founder for the exciting field of strongly correlated electron systems, David Pines. DP@90 will be a banquet with a series of short talks focusing on the achievements of David Pines; with personal recollections encouraged.

We look forward to seeing you in Urbana during its most lovely month for these great celebrations!

Sponsors

Felix Mendelssohn, Anton Dvořák and David Pines

These two recordings hold an important historical connection to David Pines, showing his deep understanding and appreciation of the fine arts; and its consilience to correlated electron physics.

Jacob Shaham was an astrophysicist from Tel Aviv University who worked with David Pines in Urbana from 1971 to 1973; where his son, Gil Shaham was born in 1971. David suggested to Ian Hobson that he invite Gil back to Urbana in 1987 to play the Mendelssohn Concerto when Gil was only 16 years old. Ian then invited him back again to play the Dvořák Concerto in 1995 after Gil had become an internationally renowned soloist.

These are the two recordings of the Concertos played by Gil Shaham and conducted by Ian Hobson:

Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64. Gil Shaham, violin, with Sinfonia da Camera led by Ian Hobson from a 4/9/1987 performance in the Foellinger Great Hall at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Urbana, Illinois. Part 1, Part 2

Antonin Dvořák: Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53. Gil Shaham, violin, with Sinfonia da Camera led by Ian Hobson from a 11/17/95 performance in the Foellinger Great Hall at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Urbana, Illinois.
