Falconer Concert Hall
Falkoner Salen has been located in the heart of Frederiksberg since 1958 and has been the setting for numerous concerts, musicals, and other events over the years. The Falkoner Centre, where the hall is located, is owned by ATP Ejendomme, which in 2016 decided to renovate the classic hall and the adjacent hotel so that the hall could keep up with the times.
Stouenborg was chosen as a consultant for sound, acoustics, lighting, and AV, and has been the total supplier for acoustics and infrastructure on the renovation project. This project took place in several stages.
The entire renovation has been carried out with respect for the hall's classic 1950s architecture. This has meant that all solutions have been designed to blend in and be a natural part of the building's architectural narrative. At the same time, emphasis has been placed on recycling as much as possible with consideration for the environment. Old equipment has therefore been repaired and updated to the extent possible.
The many years that have passed have necessitated numerous changes to bring the stage up to today's technical standards. Among other things, work has been done on the sound, the lighting, the sight lines in the hall, and the traction system, which has partly become electric, while the rest is being prepared to be.
In the first stage of the renovation, the acoustics were improved, and the sound was optimized with the installation of a new sound system. To minimize sound reflection from walls and ceilings, the acoustic regulation was carried out with minor adjustments around the hall, which are not immediately visible and therefore do not affect the architecture. However, they can be heard.
The completion of the first stages meant that in 2019, a modern hall with a completely new technical infrastructure could be opened, which has both made it easier to hold events and, at the same time, provided the audience with a significantly better experience, particularly in terms of sound, which has been significantly improved.
Similar to this project, Stouenborg has also previously worked on consulting and integrating AV, sound, and lighting for projects such as Varde Theatre and Music House, Mungo Park, and Aveny-T.
