List of concert halls
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of concert halls
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 three finest concert halls in the world are generally considered to be Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, Boston's Symphony Hall, and Vienna's Musikverein.#redirect
