Gävle concert hall

Gävle Concert Hall is a music venue with an elliptical shape and movable acoustic elements integrated into the ceiling structure. Reflective surfaces and adjustable textile components allow the sound within the space to be modified depending on the type of performance being held.

The hall opened in 1998 and replaced earlier structures at this location, including a bathhouse and a children's home. Its construction marked a shift toward developing cultural infrastructure in the city.

The venue is home to the Gävle Symphony Orchestra and regularly hosts national and international musicians. Audiences experience classical concerts, jazz performances, and rock bands all within a single space designed to accommodate many musical styles.

The building sits around 500 meters from the city center and offers ticket sales, coat check, and dining options on-site. Visitors also find a smaller performance space and a bar with beverages and refreshments available.

The exterior is covered in shiny deep blue ceramic tiles that shimmer in natural light. A large canopy area with granite flooring at the entrance transitions into interior spaces finished with Greek limestone underfoot.
