A world class performance hall perfect for presenting concerts or conferences.

Features

• 567-seat capacity
• A building within a building: features two-foot thick concrete walls that entirely muffle outside sound
• The beautiful wood on the walls is a combination of American Walnut, American Cherry, Anigre, Wild Pear, Steam Beech Pear wood, and the uneven configuration is meant to imitate the texture of limestone.
• State of-the-art ventilation: fresh air is pumped into the hall via outsized ducts to reduce rumblings, it passes through thick walls in a canvas conduit to deaden vibration and then silently and gently enters the hall through grills in the floor beneath each seat
• Fine-tuned walls: the curved walls cut echo and give the hall its lively acoustic effects. The smaller pieces of wood that jut out in slight angles are the equivalent of fine tuning.
• Retractable motorized acoustic drapes allow the performance hall sound to be customized even further.
• Green Room and Artist Dressing Rooms are provided at no cost for Performance Hall rentals.
