Conrad Prebys Concert Hall
● Acoustics: Designed by legendary acoustician Cyril M. Harris, the hall offers exceptional clarity, warmth, and balance, allowing performers to hear themselves and each other with remarkable precision, without artificial amplification.
● Intimate space: Created with chamber music sound in mind, and with thoughtful sightlines, every performance feels personal, helping musicians engage deeply and communicate nuance, subtlety, and expression.
-
Experimental Theater
● Flexible Space: This “black box” theater features configurable room acoustics powered by Meyer Sound’s Constellation electroacoustic system, letting performers shape spaces from intimate to immersive and experiment with spatial sound in real time.
● Multichannel Spatial Audio: Equipped for multichannel spatial audio, advanced digital acoustics, and multimedia integration (projectors, lighting, and live computer interfacing), it’s perfect for electronic, experimental, and interdisciplinary performances that go beyond traditional stage setups.
If planning to make use of electronics in your performance, all equipment outside of the spaces themselves must be self-provided and setup must be self-supported due to limited rehearsal time.
