The concert hall was built in 2011 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Prague Conservatory, one of the oldest music schools in Europe, founded in 1808. It seats 333 including the balcony, and its exceptional acoustics make it suitable as a recording studio as well. The architect drew on the movement of water, combining wood and glass in the interior. The oak gates facing Dvořák Embankment open only during events.
