Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, Concert hall in Arts District, Dallas, US
Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center is a concert hall in the Arts District of Dallas, United States. The outer façade combines glass and metal in a circular shape, while the interior spaces show clear geometric lines.
Architect I. M. Pei and acoustician Russell Johnson designed the building, which opened in 1989. A large donation from Ross Perot enabled the project to be completed in this form.
The hall bears the name of a major benefactor and serves today as home to the city symphony. Visitors often see the main auditorium with wood paneling and curved balconies that guide the eye toward the stage.
The main auditorium holds more than 2,000 seats spread across several levels. Smaller private rooms are available for events, and group bookings are accepted for parties of ten or more.
Heavy concrete doors weighing about 2.5 tons regulate sound reflection inside the hall. Special architectural elements ensure that reverberation remains controlled and sound quality stays intact.
