Abstract
The acoustic and audio system design for the Pritzker Pavilion represents a leap forward in the outdoor listening experience. The venue offers superior sound experiences to audiences of 11<th>000 using audio reinforcement and acoustic enhancement systems to support all types of musical performances, particularly for the resident Grant Park Music Festival orchestra. With reliance on the audio systems to project and envelop the audience in sound, the design of the stage enclosure was able to focus on the acoustic quality for the ensemble, a rare opportunity in outdoor facilities. The stage enclosure design includes variable acoustic devices and has an emphasis on intraensemble communication. This presentation will discuss the design of the stage enclosure, the trellis‐supported audio systems, and the ways in which the facility is used by resident and visiting musical performers.
