Phoenix Symphony Hall, Concert hall and performing arts center in Downtown Phoenix, United States
Phoenix Symphony Hall is a Brutalist performing arts building designed by Charles Luckman, completed in 1972 at 75 North 2nd Street and bounded to the north by the Phoenix Convention Center West Building. Its 60-by-100-foot stage sits in front of 2,312 seats with wood bases, and a 2004 renovation added cross aisles, elevators and wheelchair seating.
The building was designed by architect Charles Luckman and opened in 1972 as part of the Phoenix Civic Plaza development. Its Brutalist style reflects the architectural trends of that era.
The venue hosts three major arts organizations that perform regularly throughout the year. These institutions shape the region's cultural offerings and draw audiences from across the area.
The venue is located downtown and accessible through multiple parking options, including a nearby garage with direct lobby access. The building sits within a well-developed cultural district where visitors can find other amenities nearby.
The building's exterior served as a filming location for Clint Eastwood's movie The Gauntlet. In the film, it stood in for Phoenix City Hall, giving it a brief moment in Hollywood history.
