Sala São Paulo

Sala São Paulo is a concert hall located in the former Julio Prestes train station, right in the center of São Paulo. The first time I visited this concert hall was back in 2015, on a school field trip. The architectural style of this building is commonly seen in other historical buildings in this region of the city, but when I first encountered this specific one, I was blown away. Its size as well as some of its architectural features (the arcs, columns, and ornaments, for instance) really transmit the historical importance of this building. Inside, not only the building’s architecture is impressive but also what was accomplished as a result of that architecture. That’s because its ceiling is adjustable, allowing the volume of the hall to vary. This ensures that the intensity of any composition has its acoustic concept respected. The experience of watching the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo in this building is something will always remember.
