Tonhalle

Switzerland

The Tonhalle is a concert hall in Zurich, home to the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, one of Switzerland's leading orchestras. The Tonhalle complex comprises two halls: the Grosser Saal (Great Hall), with 1,430 seats (816 in the stalls, 614 in the gallery and balcony), and the Kleine Tonhalle (Small Hall), with 609 seats. The Grosser Saal, located at Claridenstrasse 7, was inaugurated on 19 October 1895 by Johannes Brahms, who conducted the opening concert. The hall is considered to be "acoustically superb". In 1938, it made way for a new construction that now forms the building complex Kongresshaus Zürich.
