Gothenburg Concert Hall is a

Art Museum and the City Theatre
are solid classically designed buildings as well, and were built before the Concert Hall. In contrast to the exterior, the Concert Hall's interior is modernistic.

The main auditorium’s plain shaped walls are clad in yellowish-red maple veneer and there are 1,300 seats. There is also a smaller concert hall, Stenhammarsalen, for chamber concerts. The acoustic qualities of Gothenburg Concert Hall have given it a reputation well outside the Swedish borders; Deutsche Grammophon has used the Concert Hall as a studio for a number of records, for example.

A number of progressive rock bands (among others Yes and Roxy Music) have also performed at the Gothenburg Concert Hall.

The Concert Hall is the home stage of the

Gothenburg Symphony
