To bring the audience closer to the musicians, Gehry configured the 756 seats in the New World Center's main auditorium around the stage. During performances, nine high-definition video cameras feed images to an editing booth, which transmits an edited feed to a vast 7,000-sq.-ft. (650 sq m) projection wall on an exterior wall of the building, allowing audiences in the adjoining park to enjoy the music outdoors. Back inside, rehearsal rooms are Web-connected to allow the young musicians in Miami to take video-conference-style master classes from instructors anywhere in the world. If it all works, this won't be just a concert hall you go to. It will be a concert hall that goes to you.
