Dear colleagues,
Having had the opportunity to experience the Mendelssohn Hall at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, we will be heading to the Beethoven Hall in Bonn on 27 October.

There, we will attend a presentation by Martijn Vercammen of Peutz Consulting on structural optimisations as part of the refurbishment. Afterwards, using various sound sources, we will explore the capabilities of the Vivace active reverberation system by Müller-BBM, a state-of-the-art room acoustics system. A range of acoustic scenarios can be reproduced, allowing the reflection pattern, reverberation decay and spatial perception to be specifically adjusted, each tailored to the programme and ensemble. Our RG member Felix Beckmann will demonstrate the possibilities. Chris Seguin will play the violin and perhaps a few notes on the organ as well.

27 October 2027
Starts at 5.00 pm.
We’ll meet at around 4.45 pm at the main entrance and go in together.
Address: Wachsbleiche 16, 53111 Bonn
Parking: Wachsbleiche car park, 53111 Bonn, or the multi-storey car park at Engeltalstraße 2, 53111 Bonn (just a few steps away).
Public transport: Stop: ‘Bonn Beethovenhalle und SWB’ – bus routes 600 and 601.

I’m really looking forward to it and hope for a good turnout. Afterwards, we’ll round off the evening with a drink and a chat at Cantos (right next to the hall). The regional group will be treating everyone to the first round.

Please register and let me know if you’ll be joining us for the after-party.

I’ll send out a confirmation email before the meeting.

Best

Christoph
