Soundwaves Festival 2008
Brighton & Hove 13 - 29 June
Hear Here!, the UK's first classical music project dedicated to listening, is presented by the Royal Philharmonic Society and Classic FM, and supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Throughout 2008, it explores each month the many different facets of listening to music, one of the most profound and complex aspects of human experience.
This is a chance for you to drop in on three topics that are discussed in 45 minute
forums:
1.30pm: The concert experience - how relevant is it today?
2.45pm: The dichotomy between sound and vision.
4.00pm: The experience of listening in every day life - are we still listening?
In this special Hear Here! open forum, in association with Brunel University and The University of Brighton, leading musicians, cultural thinkers, researchers and you, the public, consider the act of listening to music, sound and noise.
