Casals Forum

Casals Forum is a modern concert hall in Kronberg im Taunus with two performance spaces designed for both concerts and teaching. The main auditorium features a distinctive curved interior structure that was carefully designed to enhance sound quality.

Casals Forum opened in September 2022 as part of the Kronberg Academy, an international school for string players. The opening represented a major milestone for the institution and its educational mission.

The venue is named after cellist Pablo Casals and reflects his importance to the musical world. It serves as a gathering place where students, teachers, and audiences experience music-making as part of daily life.

The building is located right next to Kronberg station, making it easy to reach by public transport. The facility includes practice and study spaces that are actively used by students throughout the day.

Musicians report that the wooden interior makes them feel as if they are playing inside a string instrument, which creates a distinctive sound. This design creates a direct connection between performer and audience.
