Silk Factory, Fidar
Kahle Acoustics was invited to develop a concept design for a chamber music hall in a former silk factory in Fidar, Lebanon. The acoustical concept was transformed into a beautiful performance space — named the Silk Factory — dedicated to nurturing young, talented musicians from around the world. The Silk Factory is associated with the Zita Brussels guest house in Belgium which hosts performances by musicians from the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel.
