The high-standard Music Hall will form an inspiring new link in the chain of cultural sites along the Aura River. It will be open and active meeting place for locals and an interesting destination for visitors to Turku.

Featuring world-class architecture and acoustics, the Music Hall will attract even more international performers and visitors to Turku. The new Music Hall will offer world-class acoustic conditions for performing orchestral music as well as a modern environment for hosting diverse events and reaching various audience groups. The interior, geometry and materials of the concert hall have been meticulously designed with acoustics as the top priority.


The building’s main façade is clad with copper that will develop a dark patina over time, while the other façades feature painted aluminium. The design placed special emphasis on energy efficiency, with district heating providing warmth. The building aims for carbon neutrality. The Music Hall will be built to last at least 100 years.

Turku Music Hall Fuuga will feature two halls, a 1,300-seat main hall designed for concerts and a 300-seat multifunctional hall. The Music Hall will also house a restaurant and a rooftop terrace with restaurants and gardens, open even outside event hours.

The main hall is designed to serve the requirements of orchestral music performances. World-renowned acoustician Eckhard Kahle is responsible for the state-of-the-art acoustics. While optimised for orchestral music, the main hall can also accommodate other uses, including electronically amplified music, conferences, congresses and small-scale performances.

The stage is designed to accommodate 100 performers. The hall also features an orchestra pit, enabling performances such as opera.

The main concert hall forms the heart of the Music Hall and takes the form of a modified shoebox. The light streaming through the clerestory windows gives the hall a unique character and ambience. The soft, curved forms of the interior and various wood surfaces bring rhythm and warmth to the entire building.
