The bold, sweeping, curved panels of the Walt Disney Concert Hall have now become an unmistakable icon of Los Angeles. Its unique, dynamic architecture looks almost like the sails of an old ship billowing in the wind. The structure seems to be always moving, symbolising the harmonious ebbs and flows of the music played in the concert hall, as well as the never-ending flow of activity in busy Los Angeles.

With such an impressive exterior, it’s no surprise that the concert hall’s interior is an architectural feat as well. The space is expertly designed to have excellent acoustics, and the way the audience wraps snugly around the stage gives it a welcoming and intimate vibe. In fact, the Walt Disney Concert Hall has no balconies or boxes present in typical concert halls, breaking down the social barriers that separate audience members who buy different tickets.
