Finland builds yet another concert hall
NewsThe town of Turku has commissioned a new orchestral hall, despite the old one having exemplary acoustics.
The Turku Philharmonic, Leif Segerstam’s former orchestra, was founded in 1790. Its present 1000-seat concert hall was built in 1952 with Swedish money after Turku suffered Soviet air raids during the second world war.
The new building will have two performance spaces, one with 1,300 seats, the other 300.
Here’s how it will look.
The population of Turku is 194,244.
