SMP 2/2/13 | 100th Year Celebration: BRAVO! A Cultural Crossroads of Physics and the Performing Arts | Speaker: Scott Pfeiffer

Saturday, February 2, 2013
12:00 AM
Hill Auditorium (825 North University Avenue)

This event kicks-off a day of events at Hill Auditorium. For more information, please view the UMS website. Doors Open at 10:00 AM!

The designers of Hill Auditorium leveraged the pure form of a rotated paraboloid to dramatic advantage. This geometry, combined with an artistically committed community represented by the University Music Society, forged a special relationship. The role of the physics behind 
the acoustics of Hill Auditorium is explained as it relates to this near unparalleled history of performance over the last 100 years.

This event kicks-off a day of events at Hill Auditorium. For more information, please view the UMS website. The day of events is funded in part by the Michigan Humanities Council. In collaboration with Saturday Morning Physics and the U-M Department of Physics; U-M Museum of Art; the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance; and U-M ArtsEngine.
