Uppsala Konsert & Kongress

Uppsala Konsert & Kongress, Modern concert hall in Uppsala, Sweden.

Uppsala Konsert & Kongress is a 14,600 m² concert and congress building in the Gerd block by Vaksala torg, designed by Henning Larsen's firm and called "Uppsalakristallen". It has a main concert hall, smaller halls, conference rooms K3 and K4 that combine for about 90 people, and Sal D, a 900 m² exhibition space.

A concert hall in Uppsala was debated from 1912, when the first serious discussions began. In 2002 Henning Larsen's firm won the competition with "Uppsalakristallen", and on 28 October the city council voted 49 to 32 to build in the Gerd block. Construction started on 5 April 2005; the building opened on 1 September 2007.

Locals still call the building Musikens hus, its name until 2006. The Friends of the House of Music donated the Steinway grand piano inaugurated at the opening by pianist Per Tengstrand. The opening gala on 1 September 2007 featured soprano Inger Dam-Jensen, fado singer Mariza and folk group Väsen.

The venue is located in central Uppsala and is accessible by public transport and car. Arrive early to explore the surroundings and settle in comfortably before performances begin.

The building won a gold medal at the 2007 Miami Beach Biennale in the class of large public buildings. A 2010 survey of 1,360 Uppsala residents found that nearly seven in ten saw it as, or expected it to become, a symbol of the city alongside the castle and cathedral; locals also nicknamed it "Forsmark 4".
