Perth Concert Hall is an events centre which hosts a programme of concerts, performances and contemporary art in Perth, Scotland.
Architecture
The building, designed by BDP Glasgow, was built in steel and glass at a construction cost of £12.3m, and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005.
Auditorium
At the heart of the Perth Concert Hall building is a fully flexible 1,000 seat concert hall, the Gannochy Auditorium. The hall was clad in concrete with Swiss acoustic timber panels at the back of the stage. It features a shallow gallery.
It was highly commended for the Scottish Design Awards for Best Building for Public Use in 2007.
