We are pleased to announce the programme of the symposium "Using early recordings in practice-led research", to be held at the University of Huddersfield on 12th September 2021. The programme will include a number of lecture-recitals, as well as a workshop during which several wax cylinders will be produced. Attendance is free, and postgraduate students working on topics related to early recordings are invited to send an expression of interest to give a short presentation about their research.

The Week of Sound was proclaimed at the 39th session of UNESCO’s General Conference in 2017 to take place in January each year.

Sound is important to all ages and permeates through economic, environmental, societal, medical, industrial and cultural dimensions. It contributes to our individual and collective behaviour, helping to shape the relationships we form with others.
