House of Music
Musikkens Hus
A modern music hall on the fjord's edge, home to the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra. The hall is renowned for its acoustics, and the foyer and viewing terraces are open to the public for free.
House of Music opened in 2014. Designed by the Austrian firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, its architecture combines cubic and curving forms and faces the Limfjord. It is the home of the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Danish Academy of Music's Aalborg campus. The main concert hall seats about 1,300 and is celebrated for its sound quality, hosting classical, jazz and pop performances throughout the year. Even if you don't attend a concert, the spacious foyer, café and rooftop terrace are open to visitors for free, offering fjord views. It is located on the eastern stretch of the harbor waterfront, about a 10-minute walk along the water from Utzon Center.
