first freestanding jazz concert hall

Earlier this month, Mark Cavagnero, who just completed the renovation of the Oakland Museum, expresses a vision of SFJAZZ Center, the state’s first freestanding jazz concert hall. Space, which is scheduled to open in fall 2012, will be a concrete box, wrapped in a transparent structure of glass and steel on both sides of the public.  “This is the idea that jazz is a world of contrasts, where the elements play with each other,” said Cavagnero. “So here we have the heavy and light, and we found a stronger balance between the two. When everyone on the street.”

60 million, 35 000-square-foot structure will be located on the edge of Hayes Valley, at the corner of Davies Symphony Hall and others from central city locations of art. From the street, visible activities throughout the three stories: the artists in their exercise room, a guest in the lobby and bar, and before the doors closed at the indicated time, the step itself. “For the future of the organization, it is important that the building contributes to develop audiences for their art form,” said Cavagnero.

The performance space itself can accommodate up to 700 people and is designed very flexible, allowing for a concert in the cycle. It also has a bank in a high floor windows, which allows changes to the color of the sky serves as a backdrop for the experience. Sat Berkow, who works Jazz at Lincoln Center, has been a consultant in acoustics, and Len Auerbach has been a consultant to the theater.
