Wooden ceiling, good acoustics

The auditorium at the Nelson School of Music is an amazing structure, a 'heritage' auditorium opened in 1901 and known for its good acoustics.  It has a painted wooden ceiling that curves inwards towards the front where an organ is installed and makes you feel as if you are sitting in a large boat

I sat in a back row for the talk this morning, (an interesting interview with the Jerusalem Quartet conducted by a member of the NZ String Quartet) and can confirm that the acoustic is good.
