Adelaide's Quest for a Concert Hall: A UNESCO City of Music Without a Purpose-Built Venue.

Adelaide, Australia's only UNESCO City of Music, lacks a purpose-built concert hall, despite its enthusiastic music-loving audience. The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra splits its performances between three venues, creating acoustic and logistical challenges that limit its repertoire and audience experience. The absence of a dedicated concert hall is a "sore point" for musicians and audiences, and a new venue is being advocated for to address these issues.
