>The lecture will focus on the "Virtual Abbey" project I developed with
>David Hykes a year ago.  With the help of Michel Redolphi and Luc Martinez
>at CIRM in Nice, we transported the acoustic environment of le Thoronet
>Abbey, a 12th century abbey in the south of France, to The Kitchen in New
>York City.  The voices of the Harmonic Choir were digitally transmitted to
>the abbey, the reverberation of the abbey was then transmitted back to New
>York in real time, where the audience had the same acoustical experience 
>as
>those who were in the real abbey in France.

>I will also discuss the potential for this kind of acoustical 
>tranportation
>in the 21st century.

>Please join me -- we will have a small reception afterward.
