In His Own Words

Alexander Neef, General Director

A great new Hall

Toronto has a fantastic new concert Hall. At the Grand Opening yesterday evening, Koerner Hall in the Royal Conservatory's new Telus Centre for Performance and Learning surpassed our expectations. It is a warm, welcoming and intimate space with wonderfully clear and vibrant acoustics. Bob Essert, the acoustician who also was in charge of our Four Seasons Centre has worked another miracle. We can be proud that next to a world-class opera house we now have another world-class venue for concerts. The opening concert yesterday with a program ranging from symphonic (a new piece by Canada's most distinguished composer R. Murray Schafer, commissioned for the occasion) to chamber music, solo piano and Beethoven's Choral Fantasy gave us an idea of what the range of what the possibilities of this great new hall will be. I can't wait to hear chamber music or vocal recitals there.
