Architects have reconfigured the San Diego Symphony's stage and designed an orchestra enclosure to improve acoustics. A new terrace will allow large choirs to accompany the orchestra or permit additional seating.
Less than a year after completing its stunning outdoor venue, the Rady Shell, the San Diego Symphony is now turning its attention to its indoor home, Copley Symphony Hall at the Jacobs Music Center. KPBS reporter John Carroll shows us the work that’ll bring the space into the 21st century.since 1984, a building that began its life more than 90-years ago as an ornate Fox Movie Theater.
"How do we take what was a 1932 entertainment/movie palace and turn it into a 2022-2023 symphony hall?” he said.“What you’re seeing is just this tender, loving, adoring care of this incredible venue, while still bringing her into the 21st century," she said.A view of the stage at Copley Symphony Hall is shown in this undated computer rendering.“It hasn’t been touched or damaged or tinkered with in all these years and so we’re really preserving that,” Gilmer said.
But what’s happening out of sight is also impressive; a new state-of-the-art air filtration system has been installed and the architects are making use of previously unused space, making room for things such as storage of instruments.
