Stockholm Concert Hall, Concert hall at Hötorget, Sweden
Stockholm Concert Hall is a performance venue at Hötorget with a main auditorium seating around 1,770 people and two smaller spaces accommodating 460 and 140 people respectively. The building provides multiple rooms suited for concerts and events of varying sizes in a central location.
The building was constructed between 1923 and 1926 after architect Ivar Tengbom won a design competition. Funding came from donations and a public lottery, showing how important the project was to the city.
The venue is closely tied to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, which performs here regularly and shapes its musical identity. Every December, it also hosts the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, an event that has made this hall known around the world.
The building has elevators and offers dedicated wheelchair spaces throughout the performance areas. Visitors should check which hall is being used for their event, as the rooms vary in size and layout.
The Grünewald Hall features wall and ceiling paintings by artist Isaac Grünewald from 1926, his first large-scale commission. These artworks remain part of the original interior and shape the hall's appearance today.
