Wind Instrument Workshop

The Consonnes project (ANR-CNRS) together with the OICCM and CIRMMT axes SMASP & MG are organizing a one-day workshop on wind instruments. It will take place on February 20th, 2008 at McGill University (A832, New Music Building, 527 Sherbrooke St. West).

This workshop is open to all CIRMMT members.  

Description

The workshop on wind instruments will be the opportunity to meet and share ideas with researchers in the acoustics modeling and motion capture of wind instruments, and to highlight possible interdisciplinary approaches to the study of wind instruments. The morning session (9 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.) as well as the afternoon session (2 p.m. to 5 p.m.) will both balance talks and round tables, in order to facilitate discussions.

 

Registrations 

Registrations are opened on a first-come first-served basis (30-35 seats):

Joint event

    CIRMMT members and the public are also invited to a special lecture by Jean Kergomard (LMA/CNRS), following the workshop on February 21, 2008.  Jean Kergomard is the 5th presenter in this year's series of CIRMMT Distinguished Lectures in the Science and Technology of Music.
