Situated at the threshold of Melikishvili Avenue, the Tbilisi Concert Hall, also known as the Philharmonic Hall, stands as a time-honored symbol of the city. This monumental structure, with its distinct round shape, has been a part of the city's landscape for over half a century.
The Tbilisi Concert Hall is nestled between Melikishvili and Kostava streets, adding a touch of cultural grandeur to its surroundings. On one side, it neighbors the serene Vera park, and on the other, Public School 51. Adding to the aesthetic appeal of the concert hall is the bronze 'Muse' monument by Merab Berdzenishvili, proudly erected in front of the Philharmonic Hall.
The construction of this iconic edifice began in 1961, under the watchful eye of architect Ivane. By 1971, the concert hall was ready to open its doors to the public. Since then, it has been the stage for numerous grand concerts and festivals, making it a vibrant hub of cultural activities.
The Tbilisi Concert Hall boasts a capacity to accommodate 2,300 spectators, roughly over 21,500 square feet, making it the largest event hall in Tbilisi. The interiors of the lobby are tastefully adorned by the works of Elguja and Merab Berdzenishvili, adding a touch of artistic elegance to the architectural marvel.
A tribute to the artists who have graced its stage over the years, the entrance to the hall is reminiscent of Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Here, stars dedicated to these artists are embedded in the floor, marking their significant contributions to the realm of performing arts.
Since its inception, the Tbilisi Concert Hall has carved a niche for itself as a cultural landmark. Its historical significance, combined with its commitment to celebrating music and performance arts, continues to make it a cherished attraction for locals and visitors alike.
