| Abstract: | In the latest episode of the podcast, Dan Aspel speaks to Georgian pianist Tamara Kokilashvili who has performed celebrated classical recitals across the world from Tbilisi to Vienna and New York. Tamara's husband Professor Lasha Ephremidze was a participant in the 2019 "Wiener-Hopf" programme, but her connections to the world of mathematics run deeper than that having played a key part in her upbringing and continuing to inform and enrich her love of patterns within music.
