À l’écoute des cloches, entre patrimoine et acoustique

[Conference]
Bells are part of our urban soundscape, but how much do we really know about their history and sound? This talk invites you to discover the technical, cultural and sonic heritage of the bells of Le Mans through the eyes of Quentin Boisnay, campanographer, and Frédéric Ablitzer, teacher-researcher in acoustics. Together, they will discuss the history, manufacture, tuning and musical qualities of the bells, revealing the links between the know-how of the founders and the science of sound.

- Carré Plantagenêt Auditorium
- Saturday 24 January, at 3pm
- Free, booking recommended
- All ages, from 12 upwards

An event as part of the Le Mans Sonore biennial.
