The Georg-Friedrich-Händel-Saal is the stage for a variety of musical styles that the students learn and perform. As it is a school with a musical focus, there is pop, rock and choir, among others.

For this reason, a room with a variable reverberation time was created for the different styles of music. Low reverberation for rock, pop or jazz, medium reverberation for symphony orchestra, high reverberation for choir and church music.
