Tonhalle St. Gallen
Tonhalle St. Gallen is a concert hall in St. Gallen, Switzerland. It is a cultural centre, a venue for concerts, banquets and meetings. It is the home of the St. Gallen Symphony Orchestra.[1][2]
History
The concert hall was built between 1906 and 1909, in Art Nouveau style. The innovative construction used a reinforced concrete frame designed by Robert Maillart.[1]
Early concerts were given by guest orchestras, with conductors Artur Nikisch, Richard Strauss, Felix Weingartner and Arturo Toscanini. Othmar Schoeck was the conductor of symphony concerts from 1917 to 1944.[1][3]
The building was renovated in the early 1990s, with a larger stage and improved facilities for conductor and artists, and reopened in May 1993.[1][2]
