Two British teams and one from Lithuania have been announced as finalists in the international design contest for the new €30M Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis Concert Centre in Kaunas, Lithuania.
The three chosen finalists are:
The city, selected as European Capital of Culture 2022, is considered one of the Baltics' most up and coming regions for arts and culture, however Kaunas – and Lithuania – lacks a state-of-the-art concert hall that offers the acoustic quality and facilities needed to host leading orchestras and also provide multi-functional spaces for conferences, congresses and symposia.
Six teams also received honorable mentions:
The jury, chaired by Malcolm Reading, comprised Jonas Audėjaitis, Kaunas Faculty Dean, Vilnius Academy of Arts, and Member of Kaunas City Council; Gražina Janulytė Bernotienė, Architect, Gražinos Janulytės Bernotienės studija; Ingela Larsson, Partner, Architect, Henning Larsen Architects; Povilas Mačiulis, Vice Mayor, Kaunas City Municipality; Edgaras Neniškis, Architect, Arches; Modestas Pitrėnas, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra; Daniel Rosbottom, Co-Director, DRDH Architects; and Neill Woodger, Acoustics and Theatre Designer.
The concert hall is expected to open its doors by 2022, the year of Kaunas' reign as European Capital of Culture.
