Concert Hall, European Month of Music
Two concert halls were designed and constructed as a temporary location for New Music – right in the middle of Hall 5 of the Basel Trade Fair. Several works a day by contemporary composers could be heard throughout November, performed by some of the most renowned ensembles and orchestras in Europe. Contemporary artistic creation peaked at an international level slap bang in the middle of Kleinbasel – almost non-stop around the clock! The doors of the Paul Sacher-Halle were open during the day as well, to see rehearsals, workshops and other opportunities to communicate music. And of course the hall was intended as a meeting point for musicians, music-lovers and those who wanted to become aficionados. The concert-hall was a magical creation, built of light – its function was to conjure an atmosphere in which the audience was attuned to the coming concert, to transport them to another world in the minutes preceding the first note and to focus all concentration at precisely the right moment and to the exclusion of all else onto the musicians. And then to sound good. The other part of the Paul Sacher-Halle remained one unbroken space.
