Buenos Aires City opens a new spot for symphonic music lovers in the Art Factory Building in La Boca neighborhood (Pedro de Mendoza Avenue and Benito Perez Galdos Street). The new complex of 15 thousand square meters also has rooms for ballet, visual arts, demonstrations and exhibitions. Since last Wednesday the symphonic room was opened in the old boiler of this building which belonged to an electric company.
The opening had a concert in honor of Astor Piazzolla,
the father of contemporary tango. The 1200 seats allow enjoying the marvelous
acoustics of the place. There are three levels of stage boxes and ground floor
seats. There is also a chamber music hall with 400 seats in two levels which
create more intimacy with the artists. Finally, there’s a room for rehearsals
and a central foyer.
This wonderful building in La Boca was built between
1914 and 1916 by the Italian Argentine Electric Company (Architect Juan
Chiogna). In 2007 the Buenos Aires City Governor Jorge Telerman decided to
build a new space for art there. Now, that dreams is a reality and you can
enjoy the music and other activities in a wonderful place with great
architecture.
