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.
