Sverdlovsk Philharmonic Hall, Concert hall in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Sverdlovsk Philharmonic Hall is a concert hall in central Yekaterinburg built in the Art Nouveau and neoclassical styles. The building has two performance spaces of different sizes, each used for a different type of musical event.
The building was put up in the early 20th century and went on to receive a major Soviet award for cultural contributions. Over the decades, it became the main concert venue for the Ural region.
The hall takes its name from Sverdlovsk, the Soviet-era name of Yekaterinburg, and that name still appears on the building today. Inside, the mix of Art Nouveau curves and neoclassical details gives the space a layered look that feels different from a standard Soviet concert venue.
It is worth checking in advance which of the two halls is hosting the event you want to see, as they differ in size and feel. The building sits in the city center and is easy to reach on foot from most central areas.
The building's glass facades face the Weiner Gardens next door, so visitors moving through the interior can see the garden from inside. This connection to an outdoor green space is unusual for a concert hall in Russia.
