London can’t, Munich won’t, but Belgrade’s getting a new concert hall
NewsThe British architect Amanda Levete has beaten off 37 rivals with her design Belgrade’s new concert hall.
The acoustician is Tateo Nakijima from ARUP.
Serbian prime minister Ana Brnabić said the concert hall would be the largest cultural infrastructure project in the country.
No numbers available yet, but they never stick to budget.
That first sentence though!!!
Indeed, anyone who beats off 37 rivals deserves to win!

Don’t count your concert halls before they hatch.
With Putin’s money, perhaps.
It’s Belgrade, so Emirati or Chinese money is much more likely. Or another donation from Zubin Mehta.
