Frank Lloyd Wright’s newly restored Unity Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the venue for Schubert+ Festival 2023. Located in the heart of Oak Park, IL at 875 Lake Street.
While Unity Temple is widely recognized as an architectural landmark and a gathering place for religious community, it also boasts exceptional acoustics and provides a remarkable intimate setting for world-class concerts. Attending a Schubert concert in this venue is akin to being transported to the very essence of the composer’s musical world. The harmonious acoustics envelop you, as if you were seated in the cozy ambiance of Franz Schubert’s own living room, where every nuance and intricacy of his compositions comes alive.
Unity Temple’s acoustics are known for their clarity and balance. The low ceiling helps to enhance the overall quality of sound, allowing anyone to be clearly heard and understood throughout the space. The use of hard surfaces, such as concrete, stone, and wood also contribute to the warmth and richness of the sound.
The interplay between the building’s unique acoustics and its visual aesthetics creates a memorable sensory experience for visitors and enhances the overall atmosphere within the space.
