The dynamic Concert Hall is acclaimed by performers and critics alike as being one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the world. Being home for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra (old and new) and numerous Broadway road shows, underlines the flexibility of this facility.

Large business meetings can make exceptional use of its 2,800 seat capacity with most speakers requiring little amplification, creating an intimate atmosphere. Linking into the fiber optic audio/video system provides almost any high tech capability required by meeting planners.
