El Pomar Great Hall is the main auditorium of
the Pikes Peak Center and is the home off Colorado Springs Symphony.
Pikes Peak opened its doors in October 1982.
El Pomar Great Hall is a 2100-seat multi-purpose
auditorium that has earned high praise for its acoustics from visiting
soloists and musicians, since its inception. The room is equipped
with a number of adjustable technical features that give the hall
flexible and variable acoustics, making it well-suited to a wide
range of events, including symphonic music, musical theater, opera,
dance, drama, rock music, and headline entertainers. A movable ceiling
canopy can be raised or lowered to change the quality of reflected
sound. Acoustic banners descend from slots along the sidewalls and
ceiling, to change the reverberance of the room. A unique system
of movable stage "towers" can be placed behind the performers
in order to affect the room's acoustics for different performance
needs. Box seating along the sidewalls and an absence of center
aisles create an intimate audience environment.
