Today the city council announced at a conference in Besední dům further progress in the construction of the Janáček Cultural Centre. The patron of this Brno concert hall project is Magdalena Kožená.
The intended concert hall should provide 1250 seats, perfect acoustics and top background for artists. Although the goal is to construct mainly a worthy base for the Brno Philharmonic, the hall premises can be used for any musical genre from jazz to rock. The Janáček Cultural Centre will serve as a multi-functional building combining a concert hall, a restaurant and a place for meetings outside the musical production. After approval of the project, a series of building permits will have to be acquired, which the city intends to obtain before the end of 2016. By the end of 2017 the start of stage 2 of the construction is planned with the target completion in 2019.
The total financial amount for the concert hall construction is approximately 1.3 billion Czech Crowns. The multi-source funding will be shared between the city, which is providing an estimated 500 or 600 million, the South Moravian Region and the Ministry of Culture, on behalf of which the Minister of Culture, Daniel Herman, has promised financial support.
The former car park near Besední dům is currently an archaeological site, whose excavation should be finished before the January of the next year. The zoning and planning decision was acquired based on the winning study by the Atelier M1 architekti s.r.o. After the approval of the investment design, a tender for the building permit and project documentation processor will follow.
