Architecture and acoustics at the highest level
The Dortmund Concert Hall opened in 2002 and can accommodate around 1,550 visitors. The clear, modern steel and glass architecture characterizes the appearance of the building and creates a light-flooded, open atmosphere.
The acoustics are particularly noteworthy: the hall is conceptually based on the Vienna Musikverein and achieves a reverberation time of around two seconds – a benchmark that is internationally renowned. Thanks to this quality, the Dortmund Concert Hall is a sought-after venue for renowned artists such as Renaud Capuçon and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who perform here regularly.
