America's oldest orchestra will soon perform in a venue that feels like new
In the past, the design of the hall was dictated by straight lines and orderly rows; a scheme — immediately disrupted by the continuous requisite supplementation of various baffles, panels and other acoustic treatments — attempted to improve the sound.
In those upper tiers , long single rows of single seats angle toward the stage. It’s a small but impactful highlight of the new hall’s emphasis on attention. A profoundly adjusted rake contributes to this. It gives the room the feel of an elongated bowl, and in concert with the curvature of the aisles — as well as a subtle system of three variations in seat widths — allows for unobstructed views from every seat.
One notable addition is really more of a subtraction: the removal of just over 500 seats, bringing the capacity of the hall from 2,738 to 2,200, but greatly increasing the intimacy of the listening experience.This extra room also aided in modernizing the capabilities of the hall, which architect Gary McCluskie of Diamond Schmitt Architects emphasized was guided by the direction of contemporary music itself, which increasingly extends into multimedia territory.
Public space and access have been increased and encouraged through wide entrances from Lincoln Plaza, and ground-level offices were removed to make room for a “Sidewalk Studio” for street-facing performances. Grand glassy overhangs emphasize the height of the lobby, and a glowing 50-foot media wall animates the interior.
