This 1200-seat purpose built concert hall, part
of a significant addition to the existing Musikhuset Aarhus, will
be the home of the Aarhus
Symfoniorkester. This 72-person permanent ensemble serves the
Aarhus community with over 60 symphonic performances each season,
as well as collaborations with the Den Jyske Opera company.
The hall features audience seating on 3 levels
and a variety of signature adjustable acoustics elements including
a large three-piece motorized canopy (or reflector) system and a
system of sound absorptive panels that can be deployed for performances
featuring amplified sound, or for rehearsals. These systems will
be used to shape the acoustics environment to meet the needs of
different types of performances taking place in the hall.
