Hi,
I saw this on a music list and just thought someone might be interested.
Masterclass on the Pedal harpsichord. Royal College of Organists.
St Giles Cripplegate in the Barbican Centre on Friday 4 November from 2.00pm – 5.00pm.A pedal-harpsichord (a harpsichord with a full pedalboard) would have been found in the home of most German organists during the Baroque period. Bach possibly wrote his Trio Sonatas for pedal-harpsichord, and his Passacaglia was also arguably for pedal-harpsichord.

Under the guidance of the brilliant young Slovenian keyboardist Dalibor Miklavcic, become a Baroque German organist for the afternoon, discovering the sensations and sounds of working on this now rare and fascinating instrument.

Restricted to 6 active participants students of at least grade 7 keyboard standard, but observers of any standard will also find this class very interesting.

Fee for players: £60.00, for booking form see http://rco.org.uk/pdfs/Autumn11applicationform%28updated%29.pdf. 


also Reminder,
The next day Saturday 5 November, also at St Giles Cripplegate.
the RCO London Organ Forum featuring Dalibor Miklavcic, on the subject of
The Organist at Home – exploring the pedal harpsichord

Hi,
the Audio engineering society lecture on the 11th of October is about Chameleon subwoofer arrays.
from the web site "Current work in the Audio Research Laboratory (ARL) at the University of Essex has engaged in the development of a flexible networked low-frequency response control system, termed a chameleon subwoofer array (CSA) due to its intrinsic capability of adapting to acoustical surroundings. CSA technology provides multiple degrees of freedom towards system correction, achieved either with multi-component subwoofers or standard single drive unit subwoofers calibrated automatically.2
meeting location, Please note: London lectures are now held at The Royal College of Pathologists, 2 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AF, just off Pall Mall (next door to the RAE). Meetings start at 7.00pm with refreshments from 6.30pm.
