We are delighted to be
able to tour the Steinmetz Symphony Hall construction site in downtown Orlando
on Thursday, March 12, 2020. This is an
exciting project with crews working 24 hours a day, anticipating completion later
this summer. This is the final phase of
the downtown Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, adjacent to the Walt
Disney Theater and the Pugh Theater, and will be the future home of the Orlando
Philharmonic, Orlando Ballet, and Opera Orlando as well as other arts
organizations and events. Steinmetz Hall
is designed for performances that do not use an electronic sound system – orchestral
music and other non-amplified performances – and the acoustic balancing design
has been described as seeking “the most acoustically perfect in the world” with
an array of technological innovations.
The venue will be capable of transforming from a 1,700-seat concert hall
to a 1,500-seat traditional theater, depending on the type of show being
offered.
Speaker: Allan Gladstone, Whiting-Turner
Construction Project Manager
We
will meet at 5:15 pm at the Whiting-Turner offices (2-story building behind the
Dr. Phillips Center complex) at 401 S. Rosalind Ave., Orlando. If you have a hard hat and safety glasses,
please bring them. Otherwise, they will be
provided. Be sure to wear closed-toe
shoes. We will start the tour no later
than 5:30 and expect to be finished by 6:30.
You will need to find parking since the Whiting Turner lot is only
usable from 6 am to 6 pm. After 6pm, it turns into a city parking lot and you will
need to pay at the meter.
Once
our tour is complete, you may join us as we walk about 3 blocks to Wahlburgers
Restaurant at the Sun Trust Center, 200 S. Orange Ave. (corner of Church Street
and S.Orange Ave.) for dinner. This is
described as a “celebrity-owned restaurant with a fun, casual, music-filled
atmosphere,” known for its burgers, salads, and mac-n-cheese.
RSVPs for the site tour
must be received on or before 5pm
on Wednesday, 11-March 2020.
Your friends and colleagues are always welcome; membership in AACE is
not required. Bring your acoustically-minded musical
friends!
