This is a brief report describing the Recording and Research Center, a division of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The Recording and Research Center (RRC) is unique in the world in that it is physically and administratively an integral part of a major performing arts complex in the United States. Typically, research laboratories are affiliated with universities and industry, but this innovative approach allows science to be in direct contact with the arts, thereby providing a practical service.
An overview is given here about the purpose, history, and structure of the RRC after one decade of existence. There are comments about specific research projects, the personnel involved, and sources of funding. The final section is a selected list of publications by RRC personnel in this first decade.
