Philharmony Concert Hall, Chișinău, Concert hall in central Chișinău, Moldova.
Philharmony Concert Hall is a large venue with classical architecture, featuring a grand entrance with six columns and a prominent arch at its facade. The building contains multiple concert spaces and serves as the primary home for the city's orchestras and choral groups.
The building was originally constructed as a circus in 1912 and transformed into the National Philharmonic in 1940, followed by substantial reconstruction in 1960. This conversion made it a center for classical music in the city.
The National Philharmonic presents symphony, jazz, and folk performances through its resident orchestras, including the Academic Choral Chapel Doina. These ensembles remain central to the city's musical life and draw audiences throughout the year.
The building was affected by a devastating fire in 2020 that damaged approximately 80 percent of the structure, so performances now take place at the Palace Hall of the Republic. Visitors should verify current event schedules and confirm the venue location before planning their visit.
The philharmonic organization maintains two orchestras established in 1930: the Symphonic Orchestra and Academic Choral Chapel, which perform regularly throughout the season. These long-standing ensembles have deep roots in the region's musical culture.
