Winchester: "The Sound of Music"

Mon 3 Jun 2013 at 7.30pm  

Meeting / Address:

Bridge Patisserie, Bridge Street, Winchester

Price:

FREE ENTRY

Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore and debate the latest ideas in science and technology.

Tonights talk will be lead by Dr Rob Stansbridge who is a teaching fellow at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton.

Rob will be bringing musical instruments with him to the café and talking to us about the physics of musical instruments, why they sound like they do, and how physics determines our scales and chords.

The Bridge Patisserie will be open for at least half an hour before the talk which starts at 7.30pm, so you can get yourself a drink and have a chat with other participants. The discussions will aim to finish around 9.00pm, though everyone will be welcome to stay around and have a chat with the speaker afterwards ... and indulge in more of the Patisserie's delicious cakes.

The format of the evening is usually a talk of 30 to 40 minutes, followed by a short break so the audience can refill their glasses, before questions and discussions about the talk. Entry is free and open to everyone, but we do encourage you to buy a tea, coffee and cakes to show your support for the Bridge Patisserie who sponsor the meeting by providing the venue.
