The Frank Collymore Hall Technical Info.
The Frank Collymore Hall was originally built as a concert hall, however this facility hosts a variety of events, ranging from classical concerts to lectures. It has a seating capacity of 491. It is architecturally interesting and accommodates performances from Moscow Ballet to jazz concerts.

The Hall is equipped with mahogany finished acoustic diffusion baffles affixed to the stage walls for improved acoustics. It boast an open-corner floating wooden “sprung” stage that is 1,180 sq ft and a well maintained Steinway 9’ Concert Grand piano.  There is no backstage area, and crossover is achieved via a corridor that runs under the audience seating.  There are two air-conditioned private solo rooms each with its own bathroom and mirrors. Additionally, there are three large chorus rooms similarly equipped, to accommodate twenty performers.

The lighting and sound systems comprise a lighting system developed by the US theatre company Electronic Theatre Controls and made up of a 400-channel digital control board, 164 sensor dimmers, and 141 luminaries, inclusive of remote control moving lights.  The entire system runs on an Ethernet backbone.

The sound system features digital technology developed in France, and engineered into mixing consoles by the French company Innova-Son. The Compact Live 32 channel digital mixing board with motorized flying faders sits in the FCH sound booth.

Additionally, the system also includes a twenty-four-track hard disk digital recording facility, which cater to large group live recording.  The ceiling features include catwalks for maintenance and technical crews.

A Meeting Room, an instrument room, a beautifully appointed foyer, an extraordinarily large terrace, ‘the Terrace Café’, The Grande Salle, the Cathedral Courtyard and the newly renovated Inner Courtyard, all comprise the other facilities offered by management of the Frank Collymore Hall.  It is a diverse and exciting venue for many events. It is therefore not unusual to have an exhibition opening in the Grande Salle, a meeting or two in the Meeting Room, with lunch served on the Terrace, a sunset concert, a recital or a lecture in the Hall all in one day.
