Auditorio Nacional de Música

Madri, Spain

The Auditorio Nacional de Música (National Auditorium of Music) is a complex of concert venues and the main concert hall in Madrid's metropolitan area. It comprises of two main concert rooms: a symphonic hall and a chamber music hall. The Auditorio Nacional is the main venue for guest orchestras performing in Madrid.

Before the construction of the Auditorio, Madrid did not have a proper modern concert hall, and symphonic concerts usually took place at the Teatro Real and other theatres in Madrid. The building was designed by the architect José María García de Paredes, built as part of the Programa Nacional de Auditorios (National Auditoriums Program). The Auditorio Nacional was inaugurated on October 21, 1988.
