tl;dr the grant application for EU funding was left purposefully vague so they could put a symphony hall inside a conference center at a time when money was tight. The rest of the story is about why this particular symphony hall has nice acoustics even though it's in an ugly building.
Relevance... tonight the UK leaves the EU.
Also I suspect people hear will enjoy the slightly underhand way the project managed to secure the funding.
