It will be the largest concert hall in Poland. A historic moment

The construction of the new headquarters of Sinfonia Varsovia is an investment that is expected to change the cultural map of Warsaw. As part of the second stage of the project, a concert hall with almost 1,900 seats and a chamber hall for 400 people will be built. Additionally, two outbuildings will be renovated and connected to the main building.

The complex will also include dressing rooms, rehearsal rooms, warehouses, a music library and recording studios enabling live broadcasts of concerts. The whole will be complemented by a public garden, connected to the nearby park.

This is an important investment for Warsaw. An important investment for Warsaw and Polish culture. And an important investment for the right-bank capital. It is a big deal that this project is finally nearing completion - emphasized the mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski.

A historic moment for Sinfonia Varsovia

Signing the contract with the performer is a breakthrough moment for the orchestra, which has not had its own headquarters so far.

Sinfonia Varsovia will no longer be an orchestra without its place, which is now happily happening. It will be a new space for the people of Warsaw, for music and for an institution that feels socially responsible and wants to act for the benefit of the residents - noted the director of Sinfonia Varsovia, Janusz Marynowski.

The investment is financed by the capital city of Warsaw and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

Unique design and world-class acoustics

The new concert hall was designed by Atelier Thomas Pucher in cooperation with renowned acousticians. The facility will combine the features of two types of rooms: a classic "shoe box" and a modern "vineyard", where the audience surrounds the stage.

The volume of the hall will be over 21,000 cubic meters, which will provide excellent conditions for performing symphonic music. The reverberation time was planned at 2.0–2.3 seconds, which will allow for a warm and full sound.

The spacious foyer will have glass walls, which will allow you to admire the interior of the concert hall. The facility will remain available to visitors also outside the hours of music events. Guests will be able to walk around the multi-level main building to the very top, from where they will go to a 400-meter-long promenade surrounding the entire premises. The project also includes three green patios, which will bring natural light even to the artistic area on level -1.

Magdalena Sroka, coordinating director for culture and equality at the capital city hall, emphasized that "this place will be the perfect setting for the excellence that is Sinfonia Varsovia - undoubtedly the best Polish orchestra and the best ambassador of Polish culture abroad."

The general contractor of the investment was WARBUD, known for the implementation of such facilities as the Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic in Białystok, the seat of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice and the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

The company's representatives emphasize that the construction of the Sinfonia Varsovia concert hall is one of the greatest challenges in the history of the company.
