Shenzhen Concert Hall is located in the central area of ??Futian, Shenzhen, with convenient transportation and complete surrounding service and supporting facilities. It is adjacent to the beautiful Lotus Mountain to the north and the Shenzhen Municipal Government to the south. It covers an area of ??about 26,345 square meters and a construction area of ??about 41,423 square meters. It was designed by Mr. Arata Isozaki, a famous Japanese architect who is well-known in the international architectural community. . Its architectural shape is elegant and unique, and its exterior walls are made of five colors: "yellow, red, green, white and black", which embodies the concept of symbolizing the traditional five elements of China and fully integrates the cultural charm of the East and the West.
Shenzhen Concert Hall consists of a performance hall, a small theater and other ancillary facilities.
The performance hall is in the shape of a canyon terrace, with an island stage in the middle. It is mainly used for symphony performances, with a total area of ??2,323 square meters. The stage area is 251 square meters, with a proscenium width of 21 meters and a depth of 16 meters. It can accommodate a four-tube symphony orchestra and a 300-person mixed choir to perform on the same stage. The bandstand consists of a fixed stage and 36 lifting platforms. According to the placement requirements of the orchestra equipped with various musical instruments, the stage can be raised and lowered to different heights to meet the orchestra's hierarchical stepped performance and the arrangement needs of a large choir.
The hall auditorium has 1,800 seats. It is worth mentioning that the row spacing between seats is spacious and comfortable, and is designed to be 1.05 meters. In addition, the row spacing of the 60 VIP seats is designed to be a rare 1.3 meters, allowing the audience to greatly relax physically and mentally while enjoying the performance.
The architectural acoustics of the concert hall were designed by Japan's Nagata Audio Company, and the reverberation time is designed to be 1.8-2.0 seconds. Each audience seat is surrounded by sloping reflective wall panels, and the top soundproof board is combined with it to achieve a perfect natural sound effect. The concert hall mainly uses original sound, but in order to meet the needs of other types of performances, an auxiliary electroacoustic system was specially designed by internationally renowned sound reinforcement experts.
The pipe organ in the hall was specially made by the 150-year-old Austrian Rieger pipe organ manufacturer. It has 86 sound stops and 6432 sound pipes. The shape of the piano body is tailor-made for the Shenzhen Concert Hall by organ designers and architectural designers.
The small theater is located above the audience entrance hall and is a 14.4-meter-high suspended performance hall. The total area is 629 square meters, and the auditorium is divided into three floors. The stage consists of 20 lifting platforms and 2 vehicle-mounted rotating platforms.

The small theater is suitable for various types of music performances and other artistic performances, especially the performances of the most avant-garde experimental plays in the world. According to changes in the stage surface, the audience seats can be adjusted from 400 to 580 seats.
In addition, the concert hall also purchased dozens of world-famous pianos for artists to use. Among them, the first-class sound quality of Steinway pianos of different sizes produced by German original manufacturers will allow artists to play countless brilliant movements in the Shenzhen Concert Hall.

A dressing room for voice practice and 20 artist apartments designed according to five-star standards.
Shenzhen Concert Hall is not only a landmark building in Shenzhen’s cultural facilities, but also the first choice place for citizens to listen to concerts and a palace to promote elegant art.
From the moment I came to Shenzhen, I have been looking forward to the official opening of the Shenzhen Concert Hall. As the first-class Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra in the country, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to often retreat to venues such as the Children's Palace Theater and the Grand Theater Concert Hall that are not suitable for performing symphonies. However, in May 2007, the Shenzhen Concert Hall located in the central area of ??Futian opened its doors to the public for the first time. Ticketed performances give the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra and Shenzhen music fans a real home. The concert hall will officially be fully operational in October.
