Thessaloniki Concert Hall (Greek: Μέγαρο Μουσικής Θεσσαλονίκης) is a centre for the performing arts in Thessaloniki, Greece. It opened in 2000 on land donated by the Greek state. The complex has two main buildings: M1, with an auditorium that seats 1400; and M2, in more contemporary style by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, with a number of smaller performance spaces.[1] It hosts a range of events, including concerts, opera and conferences, alongside educational and outreach activities.[2]
Artistic director of the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, whose three-year term begins on January 1, 2021, is Christos Galileas, associate professor of violin at Georgia State University.[3]
