Albany Municipal Auditorium, concert hall and multi-use auditorium in Albany, Georgia
The Albany Municipal Auditorium is a concert hall and multipurpose venue in downtown Albany, Georgia, with nearly a thousand seats arranged across the orchestra level and two balconies. The building displays a straightforward classical style from the early 20th century with strong architectural details.
The auditorium was built in 1915 by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown to replace an older wooden hall and accommodate more attendees for performances. After closing and falling into disrepair in 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and underwent full restoration in 1986.

The auditorium is located on Pine Avenue in downtown Albany and is easily accessible on foot or by car, with parking available nearby. Good acoustics and clear sightlines from every seat ensure a comfortable experience for all visitors, whether seated on the main floor or balconies.
The hall is connected to the Albany Symphony Orchestra and was reopened with a concert featuring Ray Charles, a renowned musician from Albany. In the 1950s and 1960s, it also hosted nationwide telethons with Hollywood stars.
