List of concert halls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Concert hall is a cultural building, which serves as performance venue, chiefly for classical instrumental music. Many concert halls exist as one of several halls or performance spaces within a larger performing arts center and, where appropriate, the name of the arts centre is included.

Many larger cities have both public and private concert halls.

The list is organized alphabetically by continent and then by country within each continent.
