Albany Municipal Auditorium, concert hall and multi-purpose auditorium in Albany, Georgia, United States
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 Albany Symphony Orchestra has been based in the auditorium since reopening it in 1990 with a Gala Concert featuring Albany native Ray Charles. Each year the hall hosts Deerfield-Windsor School's all-student Spring Musical, Ballet Theatre South's annual production, and the Andersonville Theological Seminary graduation ceremony.
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 965-seat auditorium was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1974, two years after it was abandoned and left vacant. Restoration began in 1986, and in 1990 Albany native Ray Charles performed at the gala concert that reopened it with the Albany Symphony Orchestra.
