*FINAL PROGRAMME AND TIMINGS*



*‘Made in London’: Makers, designers and innovators in musical instrument
making in London, from the 18th to 21st centuries*



This one-day conference brings together an exciting range of new research
examining the making and development of musical instruments in London.
Diverse instruments can trace their roots through early London workshops
and the pioneering efforts of an enterprising body of innovative and
skilful craftsmen.



Makers, restorers, conservators, players, and historians are invited to
discuss musical instrument-making in London from the 18th to the 21st
centuries, and through the shared discussion of current research to
generate a better understanding of issues common to both current and former
practitioners. The programme has been selected to promote new dialogue
between the practical and theoretical, to refresh organological thinking,
and to forge creative new collaborations in the practice and analysis of
musical instrument-making.



The Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture & Design of London Metropolitan
University, which incorporates the former London College of Furniture, has
been a centre of musical instrument-making for 100 years. The University is
pleased to host this conference in which doctoral, post-doctoral and wider
research communities converge to share recent findings and to advance the
study of a particular music-making culture from various disciplinary and
methodological viewpoints.
