The National Music Auditorium is an organization dependent on the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music belonging to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. It is the work of Jose Maria Garcia de Paredes, a Spanish rationalist architect born in Seville. Graduated from the Higher Technical School of Architecture in Madrid in 1950, he is best known for his projects for large auditoriums, the Manuel de Falla in Granada (1978), the Palau de la Música in Valencia (1987), the Cuenca Auditorium (1994) and of course our protagonist today. National Music Auditorium of Madrid (1982).
With this he was able to bring to light his great passion, his early fondness for music, which led him to become interested in and study acoustics, although he finally opted for architecture.
The Auditorium is an important music venue, offering its facilities for musical events. Its two concert halls, Symphony and Chamber, with a capacity of 2.324 and 692 seats respectively, can host up to four concerts a day.
A abrazo.
