Modern Acoustical Science for Performing Arts Venues

This month’s lecture will present a history of modern acoustical science for performing arts venues. It will be given by John O’Keefe and is dedicated to our good friend, the late Terry Medwedyk. The talk will span the discoveries of the early 20th century, the early energy revolution of the mid-20th century and some of the more recent developments of the early 21st century. Our speaker, John O’Keefe has been responsible for the acoustic design of many of Canada’s favourite performing arts venues. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto, a frequent guest lecturer at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and occasional lecturer at Sorbonne University, Dayananda Sagar Academy (India) and many others.
