北京音乐厅隶属于中国交响乐团,坐落在西长安街南侧,是我国第一座专业音乐厅。
作为拥有国家品牌的标志性建筑,北京音乐厅有着悠久的历史。上世纪80年代,在我国老一辈著名指挥大师李德伦、严良堃的亲自主持下,北京音乐厅在原址破土重建。2004年,经再一次重新整修,于当年12月31日正式复业。
北京音乐厅外观通透时尚,内部设计庄重大气,舞台音效通透圆润、音质饱满,是国际古典音乐领域具有代表性的专业演出场所。全厅共有观众座席1019个,每个软椅都进行了消音处理,使得观众能够在欣赏音乐时获得放松舒适的体验。舞台面积约为270平米,台口宽21米,主舞台深度13米,可同时容纳百人交响乐团及合唱团。舞台吊顶采用美国引进的新型反音板,共16块,可最大限度保证观众区每个角度还原声音本色。
梅纽因、斯特恩、小泽征尔、马友友、斯科达、多明哥、卡巴耶、梅斯基、郎朗、刘诗昆、殷承宗、傅聪、吕思清、埃森巴赫等艺术家都曾在北京音乐厅的舞台留下光辉的一页。
音乐厅内还采用了一系列现代化建筑声学措施。良好的频率特性和适度的混响时间以及均匀的声场分布,使北京音乐厅不仅具备国际一流专业演出场所的场地条件,更为艺术家们提供了绝佳的同期录音场地,众多唱片公司在这里录制专辑并在全球发行。舞台后区的大型管风琴,是我国引进的第一部大型管风琴,拥有4859个音管,迄今已有三十余年,仍保留着良好的音质音效。
如今,北京音乐厅将制度建设作为自身发展的重中之重,以“音乐融入生活”作为核心价值理念,立足五大发展愿景,分别是:努力成为世界音乐厅家族的重要成员,努力成为国家一流品质的音乐殿堂,努力成为中外青少年艺术交流的最大平台,努力成为京津冀艺术普及教育的实践基地,以及努力成为古典乐和室内乐文化消费的实验田。北京音乐厅旨在通过演出策划、艺术教育、艺术交流三大支柱产业,打造艺术长青品牌,实现经济效益与社会效益的双丰收。
