The 844-seat Bing Concert Hall will be an acoustically exceptional venue that will be well suited to a wide range of music performances, from small chamber ensembles to full-sized orchestra, jazz, and multimedia events.

Named in honor of major supporters Helen and Peter Bing ´55, the Concert Hall will be located at the gateway to the Stanford campus, adjacent to the existing Frost Amphitheater, at the east end of Museum Way, with its main entry plaza facing the existing Cantor Arts Center on the other side of Palm Drive. Construction of the Concert Hall is expected to be completed in summer 2012, with the first public performances taking place in January 2013.
