Bing Concert Hall

Project Description

The 844-seat Bing Concert Hall (the "concert hall") will be an acoustically exceptional hall that will be well suited for a range of music groups from small chamber ensembles to a medium-sized orchestra. The concert hall will present visiting artists in an environment ideally suited to their art and will potentially give Stanford the reputation for being one of the country’s premier presenters of chamber, recital, and world music. Located at the gateway to the campus, the concert hall will sit adjacent to the existing Frost Amphitheater at the east end of Museum Way. The hall's main entry plaza will face the existing Cantor Arts Center on the other side of Palm Drive. Visitors will enjoy direct access to the concert hall facilitating stronger ties among the university, regional artists, and audiences.
