"Golden Conch" in the Night
Inside the "golden conch"
For the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra, which has a history of 52 years, 2022 will be a new beginning, because the orchestra will enter the new Chengdu Open Air Music Park Chamber Concert Hall ("Jin Hai Conch") to achieve "hall and group integration". A few days ago, the "Golden Conch" has passed the completion acceptance and is in full swing for more professional repairs.
Xiao Ying, director of the Chengdu Orchestra, said frankly, "'Hall and Group Unity' is the configuration of the top international symphony orchestras, and domestic orchestras like the China Philharmonic Orchestra and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra also have their own exclusive concert halls. This is a solid step for the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra to become the top symphony orchestra in China, which will bring better performance quality, realize more dreams, and make important contributions to Chengdu's construction of 'International Music Capital'." ”
It is understood that the "Golden Conch" is expected to be officially put into use in the first half of next year, and will bring no less than 80 high-quality music performances to chengdu citizens in 2022.

Officially passed the completion acceptance
The "golden conch" has just formed
The Chengdu Open-air Music Park, located next to the Phoenix interchange in the north of the city, has become a new landmark in Chengdu, and its main stage resembles a shell, also known as the "silver shell".
Not far from the "Silver Shell" is the newly completed Chengdu Open-air Music Park Chamber Concert Hall. The whole building is spiraling upwards, like a conch standing on the beach.
According to the staff, the external wall of the project adopts a double-layer design, and the outermost layer of aluminum veneer with round holes will show a light transmission effect. "So at night, when the lighting effects are turned on, the outer walls of the recital hall can be switched to gold, blue, and even colorful effects."
Following Xiao Ying into the interior of the concert hall, the reporter saw that the overall color inside was based on white, and the ground and wall were fused with a large area of beige, which was dignified and elegant. The most striking thing is its suspended ceiling, the entire ceiling is designed as a huge white "flower". "In addition to playing a decorative role, it is more important to play a sound absorption and sound insulation effect." In addition, the entire hall is curved, and the wavy walls are relatively thick, which can also eliminate external noise. Xiao Ying introduced. The reporter noticed that in the state of no lights, the lighting of the concert hall is also good. This is because the "flower buds" in the ceiling are translucent designs, so that even in natural light, daily work and rehearsals are basically not affected.
The concert hall can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators, and the audience sits in each position and listens to the music without deviation.
【The road to the future】
Over 80 performances, youth training...
Orchestras and concert halls must achieve each other
Between the hall and the regiment, there is a need to achieve each other. The new concert hall has the sound effects of a first-class concert hall, and the next test is the planning, organization and management ability of the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra. In this regard, the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra also did a lot of work in the early stage, hoping to find Chengdu's own "hall and group integration" model.
"Next year we expect more than 80 performances, including 40 music seasons, concerts for charity workshops and more. However, we hope that the public will be able to come to the concert hall without concerts to pay attention to the setting of the musical atmosphere here. "For example, there are music punch cards, there are sculptures related to music, there is the popularization of music (knowledge), and there is the interaction of our Chengdu Symphony Orchestra music season. Including our program for training teenagers, it will be launched at the concert hall. ”
Interview with the Head of the Delegation
"Unity of halls and groups" makes the transaction have "roots"
Let the citizens have a "city music punch card"
In an interview with reporters in the "Golden Conch", Xiao Ying sighed: "If a regiment does not have a hall, it is adrift and has no roots. The completion of the Chengdu Open-air Music Park Chamber Officiation Hall means that the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra will end the days of guerrilla fighting, achieve "hall and group unity", and start to launch the orchestra music season.
For the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra, "hall and group integration" can improve its own standards. "Because the standard of the concert hall is first-class, there will be more well-known orchestras at home and abroad to perform in the future, so we can learn the style of famous orchestras and cooperate with them in an all-round way." Xiao Ying said, "At the same time, we can use the 'city music punch card place' to locate our concert hall, and regard it as our responsibility to cultivate the music appreciation level of citizens." ”
In addition, the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra will also be able to form a unique "transaction sound". "Each concert hall has its own sound stage characteristics, and our 'Golden Conch' makes every listener feel different about the sound of the scene as much as possible. More importantly, we implanted technological content into the concert hall to create a smart and intelligent concert hall. Xiao Ying also said that in the future, the Chengdu Symphony Orchestra will use the concert hall to do more exploration in music popularization, expand the audience's vision, and introduce more excellent works to the audience." Such a mission cannot be accomplished by renting a hall for performances, and now that we have our own hall, we can consciously arrange some performances in this regard."
