Beautiful and quite modern building. Have been there myself because I had a Christmas concert. The rooms are large, spacious and well maintained, the floors are clean and there is no waste. Outside the halls there is also a kind of restaurant and the necessary seating areas. There is plenty of parking outside. Inside there are also coat hooks and lockers. The building from the outside was still a thing but with Google Maps, you can!

It is a beautiful building inside and out. Large rooms with lots of light from outside, and where music is rehearsed, a special enclosed (large) room with nice separate steps of wood is attached to the walls.

Have attended a performance of The Armed Man here. Great acoustics, very friendly staff. Fine catering, very good coffee. I have therefore enjoyed it and the MCO has contributed greatly to that.
