This world class, acoustically superb Concert Hall will push Corpus
Christi to the forefront of cultural arts and entertainment in South
Texas and features a 1500-seat Concert Hall with state-of-art
acoustics, a striking 50-foot glass-walled lobby that faces Ocean
Drive offering a beautiful 360-degree view of the Corpus Christi
bay and the downtown skyline, and a versatile Greenroom for more
intimate gatherings and receptions.
In order to ensure the quality of the unparalleled design and acoustics
of the Performing Arts Center, the architects of record, Corpus
Christi based Cotton, Landreth, Kramer Architects & Associates,
Inc., approached renowned theatre and acoustic consultants. The
New York City design firm of Hardy, Holzman, Pfeiffer Architects
was asked to consult on the project. They recently completed the
restoration of Radio City Music Hall and have designed similar halls
throughout the country. Theatre consultants Fisher Dachs Associates,
based in New York and winners of seven Tony Awards for previous
designs, were also consulted. And, Jaffe Holden Acoustics, Inc.
based in Norwalk, Conn. was consulted for their expertise in acoustics.
Recent achievements by these notable companies are Bass Hall in
Ft. Worth, Texas, the concert hall refurbish at the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C., and work on the
new Zankel Hall as a third performance space in New York’s
Carnegie Hall.
