Winspear Centre is one of Edmonton’s leading concert venues and the principal performance home of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Its main auditorium, Enmax Hall, seats approximately 1,716 people and features a tall rectangular layout that represents a modern interpretation of the classic “shoebox” concert hall design. Stepped balconies, curved terraces and the imposing Davis Concert Organ give the interior a distinctive character, while the hall itself was designed with particular attention to sound quality.
Acoustics are one of the defining features of the Winspear Centre. Adjustable acoustic curtains, reflectors and overhead elements allow reverberation to be adapted to different types of performances, from symphonic concerts to jazz, rock, folk and other musical programmes. The multi-level seating arrangement keeps much of the audience relatively close to the stage, while the modern sound system provides consistent coverage throughout the auditorium. Foyers and supporting visitor spaces make arrival and movement before performances and during intervals comfortable.
