Hall C is designed to
achieve the ideal acoustics for a music hall. Seating
is arranged in three levels with room for 1,502
people. A space of only 35m separates the seating
area and stage to create an air of intimacy between
the audience and performers. The latest audio technology
including special "concert hall shaper" acoustic
baffles and acoustic field control equipment provides
control over reverberation timing to ensure the
creation of the ideal sound characteristics for
each function. This flexibility makes the hall suitable
for a variety of events ranging from classical concerts
and musical performance to international conferences.
The interior of the hall features a stylish color
with walls made from Chinese quince, reminiscent
of the wood used for violins.The second floor houses
a counter-type cafe for intermission refreshments.
