Construction work for the sound house completed
The canton of St. Gallen is completing construction work on the Klanghaus Toggenburg. Before it is officially opened on the weekend of May 24 and 25, 2025, the Klangwelt Foundation will conduct a trial run from January 2025.
During a trial run from January 2025, the Klangwelt Foundation will test the premises and processes, such as the parallel use of all rooms and the ticket system. If necessary, experts will adjust the acoustics of the rooms, according to the canton's press release. The building will officially open in May 2025 at a total cost of 23.3 million Swiss francs. Klangwelt Toggenburg is financing CHF 1 million of this. The remaining costs for the canton amount to CHF 22.3 million. The Klangwelt Toggenburg Foundation is the operator of the Klanghaus.
The wooden building comprises four acoustically unique sound rooms. There are also two outdoor stages for outdoor music experiments. As a sound workshop with unique acoustics, the Klanghaus is available to both professional musicians and amateurs for rehearsals, courses, workshops and symposia.
