chamber hall

The traditionally designed Chamber Hall, which can accommodate an audience of 408, has comfortable seating and excellent sight lines. The large multi-purpose stage can be extended by a lift, which, at the lowest level, serves as an orchestra pit. The Chamber Hall's smaller scale lends itself particularly well to lectures and meetings as well as to recitals and plays.  Chamber Hall seating chart
