As part of my educational commitment, I’m delighted to be an invited speaker to the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London, on 12 February 2015. This is part of an inaugural set of lectures for the designing for sound program, sponsored by Arup Acoustic Consulting and Flanagan Lawrence Ltd. My lecture will be on “Inside the instrument: A violin-making perspective on performance space and sound”, exploring as much as possible, how the development of stringed instruments dominates orchestral sound and influences the performance space. I love a challenge.
