Julian Cuvilliez and Audrey Lecorgne are the founders of Lyre Academy. For 20 years, these two enthusiasts have been working towards the democratization of this ancient instrument and have deeply invested themselves in the fields of Science, Craftsmanship, Art, and Transmission. In order to provide you with a better understanding of the foundations of Lyre Academy, we will present you with an overview of the various actions carried out by its founders each year.<\/em><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Julian Cuvilliez and Audrey Lecorgne are researchers in archaeomusicology and founders of the Research, Interpretation, and Experimental Archaeology Center. Each year, in collaboration with numerous museum institutions such as the National Museum of Cologne in Germany or the Cairo Museum in Egypt, Julian and Audrey lead several scientific missions dedicated to the study, digital inventory, and enhancement of the musical and sound heritage of Antiquity and the Middle Ages.<\/p>

In 2018, our two founders notably led the digitization mission of the Bard with Lyre Bust (-100 BC) at the Regional Archaeology Service of Brittany, thus bringing into the digital world and shedding new light on the most significant representation of lyre produced by the Celtic civilization discovered to date.<\/p>

In 2020, Julian and Audrey directed the LEIA – Lyre Experience Innovative Acoustics mission, which over four years brought together nearly 40 project stakeholders from France, Belgium, England, and Germany to study and reconstruct, through experimental archaeology, the Merovingian lyre bridge of Concevreux and the Merovingian Lyre of Cologne. Their work notably led to the renewal of the permanent exhibition at the National Museum of Cologne with a reconstruction of the lyre and bridge, as well as the creation of a digital mediation module allowing the general public to play with the very first interactive medieval lyre.<\/p>

As lecturers, Julian and Audrey regularly speak at universities, research institutions, or museums to keep the public informed about the progress of their work (National Archaeology Museum of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Constance Museum, Saint-Romain-en-Gal Museum, Royal Museum of Mariemont, University of Montpellier III, European Technological Institute of Music Professions, etc.).<\/p>

To allow everyone to benefit from the results of their work and to promote those of their colleagues, Julian and Audrey have created the PAN Portal, which inventories 3D documents and virtual environments related to ancient and medieval musical practice.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
