| • | The Musikverein in Vienna, Austria was opened on January 6 1870, and is famous for its acoustics. It is considered to be one of the three finest concert halls in the world, along with Boston's Symphony Hall and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, and is home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The concert hall was built by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of Friends of Music) which had been given the land by Emperor Franz Joseph. The building soon came to be known simply as the Musikverein ("music club").
The building is forty-eight metres long, nineteen metres wide, and eighteen metres high. It has 1,744 seats, and standing room for 300. Every year on January 1 the Vienna New Year's Concert is held here.
Since 2001 the building has been undergoing renovation, and several new rehearsal and concert halls have been installed.
