The relation between architecture and music is the central theme of the new Capita Selecta series Music, Space & Architecture. All levels of perception, both the inner experience as the social experience, of space are investigated from both fields. Seven experts from various disciplines will discuss the relationship between music, space and architecture based on their own experiences.

After each lecture there is a shadow programme with music and performances organized by Sebastian Janusz and Machiel Spaan.

The Capita Selecta lectures are public and take place on Thursday, 20.00 hours. Location: Academy of Architecture, Waterlooplein 213, 1011 PG Amsterdam.
