One step forward

The Concert Hall is ready to fulfill its double purpose. Firstly it is ideal for housing music, opera, and ballet performances, and secondly it is a Convention and Congress center, with facilities that can host meetings and large international conventions, cultural and scientific events as well as expositions in the foyers. These are events that will strengthen the City of Thessaloniki in the area of conventional tourism. The management’s objective is the Concert Hall of Thessaloniki to become the vehicle that will bring the city closer to the Balkans and southeastern Europe, establishing it as the meeting point for all the culturally creative people, thus creating events of the highest quality.

The main hall

Capacity: 1464

The main hall was not only designed to house music, ballet and opera performances but also the most demanding conventions and congresses. For this reason, acoustics and visibility studies were carried out by specialists. The Hall is equipped with up to date air conditioning system and facilities of simultaneous translation. Furthermore, special attention was given to ensure easy accessibility to handicapped visitors.

Central foyer

The forms, materials, colors, texture and use of sunlight led to the creation of a unique space with a spectacular view to the city and its harbor. The central foyer is ideal for press conferences, lectures, cocktail parties or even business dinners. The natural light disperses from the Byzantine cupola to both central and upper foyer, while the design ensures visual contact between the two.

Upper foyer

The upper foyer preserves the architectural design of the central foyer, thus becoming its natural continuation. The balcony over the main entrance enhances the possibilities of organizing varied events.

Meeting Rooms

Four meeting rooms (capacity 40 people), situated on the ground floor can accommodate seminars, committee meetings, and secretariat.

In order to bring music closer to younger ages, discounts are made for students and children. Please note that children under the age of six are not allowed in the Main Hall, except for the events designed especially for children.
