Shanghai Symphony Hall

Shanghai, China
Chris Lee

This prestigious concert hall is the new home of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra — the oldest symphony in China. The facility features two world-class performance venues, one of which doubles as a state-of-the-art recording facility.

65,000
square foot facility
360º
views in both auditoriums
20,000
m3 concert hall volume

Inside a stunning and celebrated architectural form, the new 65,000 square foot facility includes a 1,200-seat vineyard-style concert hall and a 400-seat recital hall, which also functions as state-of-the-art recording facility. The main performance hall provides surround video projection and remarkable intimacy for performers and audience members—we worked with the design team to pull the seating in and around the stage, creating highly impactful performances, undiluted by distance. The 400-seat hall is illuminated in warm wood tones and features a 360-degree balcony, encircling the performance spaces.
