OVERVIEW
The Telus Centre for Performance and Learning—the new extension to the Bloor Street headquarters of the Royal Conservatory of Music—will be available for events beginning in October 2009. Designed by Canadian architects Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg, the centre will include music studios, wired classrooms, a library, the Conservatory Theatre rehearsal hall, which will hold 160 for dinner and cocktails for up to 200, and the 1,120-seat Koerner Hall—suitable for music and spoken word performances, lectures, and conferences. Mazzoleni Hall has permanent theater seating for 237. Meeting rooms and workshop spaces can hold groups of 12 to 69 people.
