The Collins Center for the Arts in Orono, Merrill Auditorium in Portland and the recently reopened State Theatre in Portland each hold more than 1,400 people at capacity. Waterville and Skowhegan each have 900-seat opera houses, and The Grand in Ellsworth holds around 500 people. The Bangor Opera House seats just over 300, though reopening the balcony would double that.
And then there's the Criterion Theater in Bar Harbor, an 877- seat gem from a bygone era, with its ornate, beautiful art deco look, its floating balcony loge boxes, and its wonderful acoustics. Built in 1932, the building cost $150,000 to build - a lot more in today's money - and remained the center of society for the wealthy and powerful who came to Mount Desert Island each summer. In recent years, however, the Criterio...

Georgia State University research presented at 2nd Pan-American/ Iberian Meeting on Acoustics
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Most scientific research on laughter is based on recordings of people pretending to laugh. But for Michael Owren of Georgia State University in Atlanta, this false laughter -- the sound of a canned sit-com laugh track -- is a pale imitation of the real thing. He studies the full vocabulary of chortles, giggles, guffaws we all use in everyday situations.

With the coming of the winter season, the voices of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale will be raised once more in joyous, worshipful, and rich musical interplay. It will mark the 28th consecutive season for the 24-voice chorus and the second holiday program for musical director Joshua Habermann. "It's been my experience that choral music in particular has been an expression in my life of more than just a simple beautiful melody," said Habermann. "It speaks to people from many different spiritual backgrounds. "In just about any practice that you can imagine, whether it's a sacred practice or a secular practice - or just a ritualistic observing of the calendar - music always seems to accompany those things, and choral music in particular.
