CONSONANT WORK
Our project work focuses on performance and assembly spaces, including spaces for...
Music
Theater
Worship
Speech Communication
Learning
Broadcast + Media
Recording + Production
...and all spaces where form + performance come together for people to listen, learn, and connect.
Selected examples of current and completed work are included, below. As an emerging practice, re-formed from industry leaders (with past affiliations), the existing work of CONSONANT does not yet represent the breadth and high-level acoustic design expertise and experience of its individual members. In addition to these projects, please take time to review the individual resumes of the CONSONANT team.
