Kaunas State Philharmonic, Concert hall in central Kaunas, Lithuania.
The Kaunas State Philharmonic is a concert hall in central Kaunas that displays Art Deco and Neoclassical design. The building features a grand entrance with Latin inscriptions and symmetrical architectural details on E. Ožeškienės Street.
The building opened in 1928 as a Palace of Justice and Parliament, housing important judicial proceedings until 1961. After that year, it became a permanent venue for classical music and continues in this role today.
The hall shapes musical life in Kaunas through a varied program of chamber music, orchestral concerts, and solo performances. Musicians from Lithuania and abroad appear regularly here, reflecting the city's cultural priorities.
The hall sits in a central location and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signposting throughout the city center. Visitors should plan to arrive with time to explore the entrance area and architecture comfortably.
The building carries above its entrance the original Latin inscription 'Justitia Est Fundamentum Regnorum', which refers to its former judicial role. These words mean that justice is the foundation of governance, and they continue to mark the facade today.
