We invite the participants of the conference to our Gala Dinner on Thursday 24th of August at Gävle Concert Hall. (Please notice that the dinner is not included in the conference fee and separate registration is required in the registration form.)
Gävle Concert Hall was inaugurated in January 1998 and was designed by the architect Bo Karlberg. The nature around Gävle Konserthus had a great influence and was a source of inspiration for the architect.
The house is located by Gavleån's rapids and the facade is clad in shiny deep blue tiles. Under a large canopy roof, the visitor is welcomed by a rolled out granite carpet. The interior walls and floor look the same but in reality the floor is white fine-sawn Greek limestone while the walls consist of coloured concrete elements. The white color and the beautiful materials are the basis of the house's austere interior elegance. The foyer extends into a gallery corridor with a ticket office, cloakroom and the smaller concert hall, the Bo Linde hall. In the background are two large bay windows facing Gavleån. At the far end of the building is the restaurant and the large concert hall, the Gevalia Hall.
