The facility also includes a library and an exhibition hall.

Both the auditorium and the chamber music hall are technically state-of-the-art and provide excellent acoustic conditions.

The 400/600-seat experimental theater hall was designed to offer almost unlimited versatility to accommodate a wide variety of shows.

The scheme integrates three differentiated parts unified under one wave-shape roof, a symbolic form that represents the sound waves of the music. The three buildings, within a single envelope, are distributed around a large covered open central space, conceived as an interactive atrium.
