The Birgit Nilsson hall

Concerts at RAVINEN

At RAVINEN cultural center, every concert is personal. Here you meet the artists up close, in a small concert hall with fantastic acoustics, surrounded by nature. We believe in the authenticity of live music and that artists and audience share the same experience and the same room.

Birgit Nilsson Hall

A performance venue and a common room for various forms of scenic creation such as chamber music and jazz concerts, theater, opera and dance performances, film screenings, symposia, lectures, literary events and more. The range and content should correspond well to the high artistic level that applies to RAVINEN but should also provide space for experimentation and play. A unique, flexible, aesthetic and imaginative room with a new Steinway C-grand piano and 210 audience seats.

The Birgit Nilsson hall is carefully designed so that the acoustics are optimally suited to the activities described above, and the room is largely characterized by the wall elements on the side walls, which were designed by Anna Kraitz and Gustav Kraitz in consultation with acoustician Jan-Inge Gustafsson. The wall elements have a diffusing function and are central to the sound character of the room. Otherwise, the walls are equipped with ribbed panels, which also have a sound diffusing effect, albeit at higher frequencies. The ceiling has a suspended ceiling consisting of six large reflectors, all of which function as both reflective and diffusing elements. The hall is equipped with theater technical equipment, such as stage lighting placed on motorized ceiling truss, a high-quality speaker system and a projector for image and film viewing.
