This $2 million structure is the summer home of the Hartford Symphony’s Talcott Mountain Music Festival and other performances. Prior to design, Acentech developed computer generated models of the geometry and aspects of the acoustics on stage to demonstrate sound patterns to the architects and the Symphony. We created a good balance between even sound projection to the audience and at the same time provide optimal blending, ensemble, and good listening conditions for performers on stage. Our team also designed a permanent sound system in the bandshell for speech reinforcement and mono playback of prerecorded material.
