Abstract

A remarkable role model for acoustics consultants at any point in their career, Bill Cavanaugh was kind, humble, and always willing to share his successes and failures in hopes that we would all be better acousticians. In 1991, several acoustic consulting firms, including Cavanaugh Tocci Associates, came together to form the Concert Hall Research Group. They pooled experience and funds to support research and measurements in the interest of advancing the understanding of acoustics in concert halls. When the original work of collecting measurements from several halls was completed, Bill championed the idea of creating a Summer Institute to continue the advancement of knowledge. The Institute brought together acoustic consultants in performing arts, faculty and researchers in architectural acoustics, and college students studying or interested in architectural acoustic to foster conversations and honest sharing of knowledge in an informal and intimate setting.
