A blue, architectural landmark in the city centre, Stockholm Concert Hall is worth visiting even if you don't manage to get tickets to a performance. It also hosts the Nobel Prize banquet and is home to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic.
Inaugurated in 1926, the Stockholm Concert Hall (Stockholms Koserthus) was designed by Ivar Tengbom, one of the leading Swedish architects of his day. It was inspired by ancient temples from classical Greece and Tengbom's idea was to "raise a musical temple not far from the Arctic Circle."
The Concert Hall holds 1800, while a smaller hall - the Grünewald Hall - has 460 seats. In 1982 the main hall was graced with an organ with 69 speaking stops and over 6000 pipes, built by Grönlunds Organ Factory in northern Sweden.
