Concert Hall, North Jutland House of Music, Aalborg, Denmark

The Concert Hall of the North Jutland House of Music complex in Aalborg, Denmark will be the largest of the five auditoria within this performance, rehearsal, and educational facility. Construction began, on the 16,000 m2 facility, in Fall 2005, with an anticipated opening in 2012. It will be the largest facility of its type in the North Jutland region of Denmark and will become the home of Aalborg Symphony Orchestra, Academy of Music, Aalborg Department of Music and Music Therapy (Aalborg University) and Department of Architecture and Design (Aalborg University).

The 1250-seat Concert Hall, with seating on three levels, will welcome a wide range of musical performance types. In order to accommodate this variety, variable features have been integrated into the design, including a vertically adjustable acoustic ceiling, an automatically movable stage extension, and motorized drapery systems to change the texture of wall surfaces in the hall.
