Musiikkitalo
Musiikkitalo is one of the most prominent concert venues and meeting places in the Helsinki city centre.
Musiikkitalo houses classrooms, practice rooms, office space, conference rooms and various performance halls. It is primarily used by the Sibelius Academy’s students and staff. In addition to the 1,704-seat Concert hall, there are also five smaller halls in the building:
- Black Box for electrically amplified music
- Sonore for musical theatre
- Camerata for chamber music
- Organo for organ music
- Paavo, originally designed as a rehearsal hall for orchestras.
The acoustics have been designed to respect the individual purpose of each hall. There is a café for concert guests, and there is also a restaurant where students can enjoy an affordable meal at lunchtime.
Musiikkitalo was opened in 2011 and it is located next to the Kansalaistori square. Uniarts Helsinki owns the building together with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Accessibility has been made easy
The building is easily accessible: it has no thresholds and there are lifts for visitors. The tactile signs help blind or partially sighted visitors move around the building. Read more about accessibility of the building on the Musiikkitalo website.
