      GREETING SPEECH by
      E. V. SHMELEVA,
      THE GREAT MISSION
      The organic nature of the Concert Center's forms and volumes echoes the eco-friendly landscape of this unique territory. The architecture of the center is a metaphor for the silhouette of mountains and the sea, the high and the deep, a dialogue between art and nature
      ARCHITECTURE
      UNIQUE
      The tempo and rhythm are expressed not only in the geometry of architectural forms but also in the acoustics. All spaces within the Concert Center are designed to serve a high musical culture.

      The main stage, with a hall seating 1,200, features a unique, seamless orchestra shell and a transformable stage, ideal for symphony orchestra performances, festivals, and theatrical productions.

      THE CHAMBER HALL, WITH 500 SEATS, IS DESIGNED FOR CONCERTS BY SMALL ENSEMBLES, CHAMBER GROUPS, AND SOLOISTS.

      The center was designed and constructed following the recommendations of an international team of acoustical engineers, which includes the legendary Japanese engineer Yasuhisa Toyota, the mastermind behind the acoustic designs of the world's finest concert venues.
