Report: Montreal Symphony To Get New Home

Montreal newspaper Le Devoir reports that the Montreal Symphony will finally get a new concert hall. “The MSO has been performing at the downtown Place des Arts complex, and efforts to move it into its own home have been underway since 1980. The new hall will be built on the Place des Arts site and is expected to have better acoustics and opportunities for the orchestra to expand its audience, with a seating capacity of between 1,800 to 2,200, the report says.”
