Why are concert halls often designed as round or curved auditoriums?
hi erinSimply to improve the way travels throughout the room.The sound of music in halls (acoustics or reverberation) will be altered due to the timing of echoes within the hall and the rate at which they decay away. Echoes with a long delay are generally undesirable and confusing to the ear, so large sheets of hard material (baffle boards) are suspended within the hall and used to reflect sound (make echoes) at short delay times from the stage, rather than allowing the sound to travel as far as the walls or ceiling to create echoes at long delay times. Baffle boards may also be curved in order to disperse echoes to make them less obvious to the ear. Soft absorbent materials are used to prevent echoes from distant parts of the hall which might otherwise create echoes with long delay times. The soft furnishings of seating, carpeting and even the people in the audience will absorb sound and reduce echoes. The essential quality of a concert hall is called the "reverberation characteristic" which is a measure of the timing of the echoes and the rate at which they die away. In a concert hall, a certain amount of reverberation is desirable and pleasing to the ear, while in a recording studio reverberation is prevented as much as possible. Concert halls are regarded generally as having "lively" acoustics while recording studios are regarded as having "dead" acoustics.

Why there is a need for good acoustics in the concert hall?
so you can here the vibrancy of every instrument from anywhere.
How do concert halls have good acoustics?
Good acoustics involves careful design of the auditorium, with attention to proper sound reflection and absorbing characteristics at various points in the hall. In a hall with good acoustics, a properly trained person without a microphone can make himself heard and understood throughout the hall. Because getting good acoustics is as much an art as a science in architectural design, sometimes getting good acoustics is more a matter of luck, especially in the older halls. To off-set poor acoustics, or failure to attempt any sort of acoustical design in newer halls, heavy use of amplification and microphones is used. Sometimes it helps, but it is not usually a complete substitute for a hall with good acoustics.

Who designs concert halls?
Architects are the primary designers of concert halls. They lead a team of experts who advise on the unique design challenges associated with concert halls, including but not limited to structure, rigging, safety, comfort, and acoustics. The functional requirements of a concert hall are not isolated design problems and therefore need to be fully integrated into the design process. For instance, decisions about room geometry and materials heavily influence both structure and acoustics. Cooperation of specialties, including involvement of clients and resident orchestras, is of critical importance. Very few people have careers strictly centered on the design of concert halls. Architects work on a wide variety of project types and most never work on a single hall, though there are a few who are known as designers for performing arts spaces. Consultants in acoustics and theater often work on many concert hall projects, but the scope of their design contribution is limited to their specialty. People interested in careers involving concert hall design can approach from many directions, including architecture, engineering, physics, music, and audio. Graduate degrees that focus on architectural acoustics are increasingly common, but at this time are still the exception.
