They said:
“The students love acting in there and the sound is fantastic”…
And the following is an email that Simone Aeschliman (Arts Festival & Cultural Events Coordinator at Tasis) received from a musician who happened to play here some days before:
“We all enjoyed playing in the theatre and, to be frank, have fallen in love with the acoustics.
You have an exceptional hall for live chamber music. One NEVER knows until a hall is actually built how it will ‘perform’ so not only this is a positive outcome for your planning committee and a wonderful addition to your school, it’s also a gift for Ticino. Bearing in mind the difference in budgets between the Palmer Center and the LAC, I would say you can also be very satisfied in terms of value per dollar.”
