m The focus of the

design is the 2,400-seat
Concert Hall.
m cooden seating
blocks surround the
orchestra platform
together with the sail-
like wooden ceiling
forms.
m The audience
surrounds the stage,
which is elevated
slightly higher than
the adjacent
orchestra seats.
m Drawback: A dropped program, a
closing door, or a simple cough
becomes part of the symphony.
m The walls and ceiling
of the hall are
finished with Douglas
fir while the floor is
finished with oak.
m wood helps to achieve
the sound reflection

qualities of the
surface were Oak

 Entrance lobby
m The Numerous video screens and
an overhead sound system
connect the open lobby with the
orchestra.

m A pipe organ occupy a central position
between the seating blocks at stage rear.
m Skylights and a large window at the
rear of the Hall allows natural
light to enhance daytime concerts.
