What does Greek and modern mathematics have to do with tuning musical 
instruments?

The scale we are used to is a compromise developed over centuries of 
experimentation and mathematics. The ancient, baroque, romantic, and 
modern eras have each dealt with this problem differently, based on the 
mathematics (and aestetic sensibilities) available at the time.

Examples of different tuning systems will be played for comparison to 
modern tuning methods.

Plus, you can hear a statistics professor play the piano, and some other 
guests play as well.

No Mathematical knowledge is required for this talk, aside from a basic 
knowledge of fractions.
