RDAM's concert halls
THE CONCERT HALL
The Concert Hall of the Academy was inaugurated in 1945. The Concert Hall has access from Julius Thomsens Gade and holds 1058 persons in the Stalls, on the Balcony and Circle.
The interior is a result of the model ability of the Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen to unite aesthetically beautiful and functional solutions. The acoustics have determined the unconventional trapeze form of the Hall. The floorboards are a mix of birch and teak, the seats are covered with light brown oxhide, and the wavy ceiling is covered in light coloured wood.
The Royal Danish Academy of Music can gather the whole of its symphony orchestra for rehearsals and concerts. Still, the hall is also suitable for choir and small ensembles. The Academy shares the hall with the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra during the winter season. On the wall behind the orchestra, you see the organ built by Marcussen and Son. The organ, with its 84 stops, is the third-largest organ in the country. The organ is, among other things, characterized by its conspicuous horizontal ”Spanish trumpets”.
THE STUDIO HALL
The Studio Hall is a small concert hall which holds 200 persons. The walls of the hall are covered with American cherry wood. Access from Rosenørns Allé.
NEW HALL
New Hall) is recently redecorated and fitted with audiovisual equipment such as projector and canvas and light and sounds systems. The hall is designed by NOBEL Architects as a black box with portable chairs, no stage and curtains that allow variable acoustics. New Hall is, therefore, a completely flexible performance space.
The hall has an adjacent dressing room and a lift for wheelchair access.
New Hall is conveniently located next to the Studio Foyer that can function as a standing reception venue for drinks and light meals in connection with events.
New Hall seats 90 people if standing 100.
