The CCRMA Hearing Seminar

Most meetings are from 11AM to 12:30 (or so, depending on questions) on Thursday mornings in the CCRMA library. We do make exceptions for people from out of town.

The current schedule is announced via a mailing list and is also archived. To be added to the mailing list send email to hearing-seminar-request@ccrma.stanford.edu.

The following table shows a history of our talks over the past years. The abstracts for recent talks have been archived at UCSC by Mike Cohen and are linked into this table.
