Tlaqná, Concert hall and cultural centre in Xalapa, Mexico

Tlaqná is a music and cultural center in Xalapa with specialized performance spaces. The main auditorium was designed with acoustic optimization in mind and accommodates over one thousand attendees.

The center opened in 2013 after construction that began in 2007 under Universidad Veracruzana supervision. This new facility was created as important cultural infrastructure for the city.

The name Tlaqná comes from Totonac and means "the one who interprets". The centre is the official seat of the Xalapa Symphony Orchestra of the Universidad Veracruzana, and its first public concert on 25 August 2013 opened with Brahms's Academic Festival Overture and Strauss's A Hero's Life.

The building is divided into different areas including a main hall, annex room, mezzanine, and outdoor forums. Visitors should allow enough time before performances to arrive and orient themselves within the complex.

A mural titled 'Bosque de niebla' by Hiroyuki Okumura adorns the building with thousands of concrete plates. This artistic installation also serves a practical function for the acoustic design.
