Casals Forum, Kronberg
Twenty-five years after its founding, Kronberg Academy is planning its own premises in Kronberg (Hessen, near Frankfurt): a concert hall (Casals Forum) aas well as an adjoining study and administrative centre.
For the pavilion-style concert hall glass-like transparency will ensure a visual link to the nearby park landscape. The new chamber music hall will seat around 500 people. The stage will offer space for soloists or small ensembles up to the size of a philharmonic chamber orchestra (65 musicians). The hall is designed by Staab Architekten from Berlin and the acoustician Martijn Vercammen. The ground-breaking ceremony will take place in October 2017.
