Musical Notes Page 2 Benaroya Hall, Seattle, Washington What is it like to perform at Benaroya Hall? Several members of the Everett Chorale who have sung at Benroya Hall previously had the following comments. “It is majestic. It evokes a sense of pride to be able to sing here.” “I feel joy thinking about singing at Benaroya. It is an awesome place with outstanding acoustics.” “ Thinking about singing at Benaroya stokes me up. It is equivalent to singing at Carnegie Hall.” “The acoustics are fabulous and invoke a sense of grandness.” The auditorium seats 2,479. The tiered seating and world-class acoustics make for a fabulous concert experience in the audience. Opened in 1998, Benaroya quickly became noted for its technology-infused acoustics, touches of luxury and prominent location. It occupies an entire city block in the center of Seattle and has helped double the Seattle Symphony’s budget and number of performances.
