- Acoustical consultant Christopher Blair's series on building good concert halls, What Makes a Great Concert Hall?, Well-Worn Paths to Failure, and How to Ensure Success.
- Henry Peyrebrune's How Did We Get Here?, which is a superb response to Joseph Horowitz's suggestion that orchestral musicians shouldn't make (or expect to make) a living playing full-time in an orchestra.

Worth Reading

Fascinating articles by Blair. I'm intrigued by his discussion of the importance of the interior (as opposed to exterior) visuals of the hall, and was stunned (delightedly) by the photos of the result of his design. How daringly retro! How European, even! No wonder that reports have it that it sounds good.
