National Philharmonic of Ukraine, Concert hall in central Kyiv, Ukraine.
Description
The National Philharmonic of Ukraine is a concert hall in central Kyiv housed in a grand 19th-century building. The structure contains two concert spaces and displays white columns with intricate architectural details along Khreshchatyk Street.
History
The building was constructed in the late 1800s as a merchant house and survived World War II by serving as a German military officers' club from 1941 to 1944. After the war it was converted into a philharmonic venue and has functioned as a concert space since then.

In 2000 the Japanese government funded new musical instruments for the orchestra, helping establish it as a recognized force in Eastern European classical music. This international support enabled significant improvements to the sound quality of performances.
