Today, it functions as a cultural center housing concert halls, exhibition spaces, and a library. The main concert hall where the Moses Yoofee Trio will perform is known for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere; it’s frequently used for classical music, jazz and world music performances. The building’s architectural blend of medieval foundations with modern additions contributes to its unique character as a performance venue.
