Snow Concert Hall

About

The Snow Concert Hall opened in August 2022. The purpose-built facility has an acoustically-tuned auditorium with 936 seats and balcony bench seating for an additional audience of up to 400 people. The Concert Hall is part of the new complex which also houses the new CGS Library and CGS Music Centre including 17 music tuition rooms, four rehearsal/classrooms, and multiple meeting spaces. Situated at the heart of the Canberra Grammar School campus, the facility serves as the School’s centre for music and learning while offering a significant new music performance venue for the broader community to enjoy Designed by Cox Architecture, the Snow Concert Hall’s modern structure was created with sustainability in mind, using renewable geothermal energy to provide highly efficient heating and cooling all year round. The design honours the architectural legacy of the School, including its heritage Quadrangle. Designed to be transparent, the Library and Atrium above the Snow Concert Hall provide striking views into and out of the Quadrangle at the heart of the School campus. The spacious Atrium offers facilities for indoor gatherings, functions and teaching and learning. The Library provides an attractive area for reading and research both during and beyond school hours.
