Tyumen Philharmonic, Concert hall and philharmonic society in Tyumen, Russia.
Tyumen Philharmonic is a concert institution in Tyumen, Russia, whose building was reconstructed in 2001–2003. Its main hall seats 1,229 and was reworked for better acoustics and for theatre and dance companies, and a second hall for chamber and organ music seats 240.
The institution was founded in 1958 and grew over the following decades into the main musical center of western Siberia. During that time, its performance capacity was expanded to accommodate a wider repertoire and larger ensembles.
The Philharmonic's name is tied to its educational mission: musicians have long played in schools, factories and towns across Tyumen Oblast. Its resident groups include the Tyumen State Symphony Orchestra, the Kamera Sibiri orchestra, a choral chapel, the Barocco ensemble, the vocal group Sanrays and the dance ensemble Zori Tyumeni. A subscription system and branches in Tobolsk, Ishim, Yalutorovsk, Zavodoukovsk and Noyabrsk extend its reach.
The hall sits in the city center and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from most parts of town. Checking for upcoming events and booking tickets ahead of time is a good idea, especially for popular performances.
The violin ensemble led by Mikhail Parkhomovsky gave almost 900 concerts across the USSR in fifteen years, and toured nearly every town of Tyumen Oblast. The Philharmonic also runs branches in Noyabrsk, Ishim, Tobolsk, Yalutorovsk and Zavodoukovsk, and won the "Window on Russia" prize as best philharmonic of the year in 1999.
