Echoes Through Time: Perspectives on Sacred Space Acoustics (Mar 27 - 28)

In sacred spaces, sound transcends the ordinary, creating profound experiences that foster deep connections with the divine, each other, and oneself. This interdisciplinary and transcultural symposium on sacred space acoustics invites acousticians, historians, and artists to explore how sound and acoustics shape our interactions within sacred and heritage spaces. Participants will spark discussion around the intersection of art, architecture, and acoustics. By examining both historical contexts and contemporary applications, the symposium aims to illuminate the importance of acoustics in enriching our understanding of cultural identity and spiritual/religious expression. 

​

This event is convened by ISM Fellow Elliot K. Canfield-Dafilou. It will be livestreamed.

​

Free and open to the public.
