The Hall, formally known as The Jacobs Music Center, was supposed to open last November.
fall season programEarly last month, KPBS spoke exclusively with San Diego Symphony Music Director, Maestro Rafael Payare in the hall. The Symphony limited what could be shown. The $125 million project is so immense, so complex, it’s understandable why they wanted to keep a lot of it a surprise until its big debut.But those video limitations did nothing to dampen the interview with Payare, whose enthusiasm for what will be the Symphony’s new home was boundless.
“The latest technology for sound, lighting, acoustics, the grid room at the top ... all this incredible mechanical engineering takes place so that you can effortlessly see sound panels float above the stage or sophisticated lighting fixtures," said Gilmer.A choral terrace is being added to the back of the stage to accommodate pieces that feature a chorale.
“The hall is flexible. There are draperies hidden behind walls that an event, a film, spoken word, amplified musicians can also be at home on that stage when it needs to be less reverberant ... We’re able to tune the hall and adjust it in such a way to make an excellent concert hall for that as well," Gilmer said.A view from the balcony looking down at the stage, including the space for the new choral terrace, is shown in this undated photo.
When you take on an extensive renovation of a 93-year-old building, there are going to be unexpected challenges. Gilmer explained. KPBS interviews with Payare and Gilmer were weeks before Jacobs' death, and both had praise for philanthropists who support their organization.
