Philharmonic-2

Philharmonic-2 is a concert hall in the Olimpiyskaya Derevnya area designed for orchestral and chamber music performances. The building features a main auditorium with approximately 1040 seats, white and blue interior finishes, and a three-sided gallery level that provides seating at multiple viewing angles.

The hall was built in 1980 for the Moscow Olympics and initially served as the House of Concert Organizations of the Russian Soviet Federative Republic. It was renamed and repositioned as an independent concert venue in 2002, continuing operations since then.

The concert hall draws classical music enthusiasts and students who gather for chamber concerts and orchestral performances throughout the year. It remains a center for experiencing Russian musical traditions through regular programming that appeals to both seasoned listeners and newcomers.

The hall features modern acoustic equipment including a modular shell system that optimizes sound quality for all performance types. Visitors should note that access to different gallery sections uses separate entrances and entry to the main auditorium is timed according to scheduled performances.

German acoustic engineers from Müller-BBM modified the hall's geometry and installed specialized materials to create specific sound properties that enhance clarity and resonance. This technical refinement, though not immediately visible, is central to the hall's excellent sound quality that performers and audiences notice in every concert.
