Design of Belgrade Philharmonic Concert Hall presented

Belgrade, 13 June 2022

On the occasion of marking the 99th birthday of the Belgrade Philharmonic, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic attended tonight the presentation of the conceptual design of the architectural competition for the future Concert Hall.

Brnabic stated that the new Concert Hall is the most beautiful way for Serbia and Belgrade to show gratitude to the Belgrade Philharmonic, which has deserved it many times over with its work and successes.

She expressed gratitude to British architect Amanda Levete for taking part in the competition and stated that she will do her best so that the construction of the Concert Hall starts as soon as next year.

Brnabic announced that the construction of the new Concert Hall will start on the 100th anniversary of the Belgrade Philharmonic and will be a new symbol of the city.

This hall is the biggest cultural investment in the region in the last few decades and our absolutely most important project in the field of infrastructure in culture, the Prime Minister underlined and added that the government showed with many projects that it fully understands that culture is not an expenditure, but one of the most important investments, together with education.

Architect Levete, who is principal of AL_A London design studio, underlined that it is very important that this national edifice be an expression of harmony between the building and the surroundings, the East and the West, generations, musical genres and cultures, located in Usce, which is halfway between Istanbul and Vienna.

According to Levete, the slightly curved roof will stretch between several concert spaces, of which the Concert Hall will have 1,600 seats for visitors and the Recital Hall 400, and it will be built of white Serbian marble.
