Ganja State Philharmonic Hall

Ganja State Philharmonic Hall, Concert hall in Ganja, Azerbaijan

The Ganja State Philharmonic Hall is a six-storey classical-style building at the intersection of Javadkhan and Hasan bay Zardabi streets, on the site of the former Baku Movie Theater. It contains a 1,200-seat concert hall, a 300-seat conference hall, 11 loges, and rooms for administration, rehearsals, make-up, and direction. The third-floor balcony holds statues of composers Uzeyir Hajibeyov, Fikret Amirov, Gara Garayev, Niyazi, and Arif Malikov.

The original concert house was founded in 1919 when Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov established a philharmonic society after visiting the city. The present building, designed by architect Ramiz Huseynov, replaced an earlier structure that was demolished in 2012 due to safety concerns.

The hall is named after Fikret Amirov, born in Ganja in 1922, who directed the philharmonic in 1942–1943. On the third-floor balcony stand statues of five Azerbaijani composers: Uzeyir Hajibeyov, Fikret Amirov, Gara Garayev, Niyazi and Arif Malikov. The resident Goygol State Song and Dance Ensemble, the Folk Instruments Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra perform here.

The building is located centrally in the city and is walkable, with ample parking nearby for drivers. Visitors should arrive early to have time for exploring the interior, especially if multiple performances are scheduled.

The building stands where the Baku Movie Theater and a children's creative center once operated. Its courtyard holds an open-air summer concert stage, an observation tower, a two-storey gallery and two fountains decorated with national ornaments.
