A building whose own recorded description identifies it as a concert hall or a philharmonic hall, a dedicated venue built specifically to host live orchestral or other musical performance for a seated audience, distinguished by its acoustic design from an ordinary multi-purpose auditorium or arena. This group gathers concert halls and philharmonic buildings named directly as such in their own description, distinguishing the type from a theater or opera house gathered above, whose own defining purpose is staged dramatic or operatic performance, and from a sports or recreation venue gathered below, whose own defining purpose is athletic rather than musical.
