Tower Theatre

The Tower Theatre sits at the corner of 69th Street and Ludlow Street and offers a hall with classical elements and space for over three thousand spectators. The main room extends over several levels with an orchestra section, balconies, and a stage equipped for concerts.

The building opened in 1927 as a cinema and screened films for the local population. In the 1970s it was converted for concerts and developed over the following decades into a venue for music performances.

The building features a concert hall appreciated by musicians for its acoustics and is now used mainly for performances. In the evenings, the room fills with visitors who spread across the rows of seats to hear bands and solo artists from different genres.

The entrance sits close to the 69th Street Terminal, from where trams and trains run into the region. Bars and food stands are located inside the building, and ramps and elevators make access easier for visitors with limited mobility.

Numerous musicians have recorded live albums here because the hall reproduces voices and instruments with little distortion. Engineers value the room as a natural studio that amplifies sound without altering it.
