Gothenburg Concert Hall is aconcert hall located inGothenburg,Sweden, which was built in 1935. The architect for the facility wasNils Einar Ericsson, a major advocate ofFunctionalism. However, the Concert Hall has aNeo-Classical exterior look, due to the surrounding area atGötaplatsen where the building is placed – theArt Museum and theCity Theatre are solid classically designed buildings as well, and were built before the Concert Hall. In contrast to the exterior, the Concert Hall's interior is modernistic.
The main auditorium’s plain shaped walls are clad in yellowish-red maple veneer and there are 1,300 seats. There is also a smaller concert hall, Stenhammarsalen, for chamber concerts. The acoustic qualities of Gothenburg Concert Hall have given it a reputation well outside the Swedish borders;Deutsche Grammophon has used the Concert Hall as a studio for a number of records, for example.
A number ofprogressive rock bands (among othersYes andRoxy Music) have also performed at the Gothenburg Concert Hall.
The Concert Hall is the home stage of theGothenburg Symphony.
