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.
