About the place

Architect Edmund Fryk shaped the venue as a dual parliamentary and judicial hall before it transitioned into the regional centre for classical music.

The structure stands at the corner of L. Sapiegos and E. Ožeškienės streets in the former temporary capital. Designed by architect Edmund Fryk, it originally housed both the judicial courts and the national parliament. The Latin phrase inscribed over the main portal declared justice to be the foundation of states, and the high-profile trial of Neumann and Sass took place within its primary judicial chamber.

Local classical musicians toured regional venues and city sports arenas without a permanent home before occupying the building and its Great Hall. The site eventually became a fully autonomous concert institution following a designated decision by the national ministry of culture. A comprehensive reconstruction renewed the interior spaces, allowing audiences to return to regular symphonic programming.
