Aarhus Concert Hall is the largest concert hall in Scandinavia

In 1977 Aarhus Municipality created an architectural competition to provide the music scene in Aarhus with the best conditions. The winner was Kjær & Richter, and The Concert Hall Aarhus opened in 1982. The concert hall comprises six halls, nine stages and an area of 35,000 square meters. It is an architecturally beautiful house with classical features and a modern touch, and today it is a center of culture in Aarhus city center and Scandinavia's largest concert hall. Aarhus Concert Hall is also home to the Danish National Opera, Children's Theatre Filuren, The Royal Academy of Music and Aarhus Symphony Orchestra.

As mentioned, the house offers musical experiences for everyone – concerts, children's entertainment, theater, comedy, symphony concerts, musicals, opera and dance as well as events, conferences and meetings for the business segment.
