Angel Place acoustics


Another of Sydney's little secrets: you can often go to free or very inexpensive lunchtime events at the Angel Place Recital Hall.

The other day I attended a very interesting talk there on the acoustics of the place, and why they are so good. An accoustics engineer explained the science of it, and the Australian Art Quartet was on hand to perform a few pieces and prove the theory true.

There was tactfully no mention of that other concert hall out on the Harbour, the one in that rather splendid building, but with acoustics that don't quite match.
