The concert on May 13, 2027, will be held at Taper Auditorium in Seattle. Located within the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, Taper Auditorium opened in 1988. It was designed specifically to accommodate large-scale lectures and performances, with acoustics considered a primary element during its construction. The auditorium’s design features a fan-shaped layout intended to provide good sightlines and sound distribution for all audience members. While primarily utilized for university events – including academic presentations and departmental performances – Taper Auditorium also hosts external musical ensembles and concerts due to its capacity (approximately 350 seats) and technical capabilities. The space is noted for its relatively dry acoustic, making it suitable for a range of musical genres.
