This is the new series starting this month, “Sunday Series“. And now we are having Architecure for Music series.

Music has a close bound with architecture for quite some time. Concert halls are also the ones which effects the music and also effected by music. They have also given birth to great architecture designs in the globe.

This series presents the beauty of the structure, in which creativity flows abundantly.

Today’s building is the famous Sydney Opera House, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by Swedish architect, Jørn Utzonv.

The Sydney Opera House contains five main performance spaces, other areas used for performances, a recording studio, five restaurants, and four souvenir shops.

The five venues making up the main performance facilities:

• The Concert Hall, with 2,679 seats, is the home of the Sydney Symphony, and used by a large number of other concert presenters. It contains the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ, the largest mechanical tracker action organ in the world with over 10,000 pipes.^{[citation needed]}
