Athens Conservatory, Athens, Greece
The Athens Conservatory is an emblematic and prestigious Bauhaus building located in the main cultural axis of Athens. It is a successful, sustainable and internationally recognized School of Performing Arts, an educational and cultural center for music, dance and theatre, a lively hub for young artists of international calibre and a point of reference in the city life. The building was originally built in 1971 and it was designed by the famous Greek architect John Despotopoulos (Jon Despo 1903-1992) and constitutes an important example of modern Greek architecture. During the last few years, the
building has been undergoing a process of gradual transformation and renovation. Part of this work is the renovation of its main auditorium, the Amphitheatre “Ioannis Despotopoulos” which is an underground, modern, elegant and of stunning aesthetics multipurpose auditorium of 606-seating capacity ideal for chamber orchestras and sinfoniettas. The amphitheatre forms part of the new “Athens Conservatoire Art Centre” complex which also includes a multi-purpose experimental “black-box” stage of a 200 seating capacity, spaces for conferences, exhibitions, a recording studio complex, an Arts Foyer and a Café/restaurant.
