The Helsingborg Concert Hall was opened in 1932 and is one of Sweden's finest examples of Scandinavian functionalism, designed by architect Sven Markelius. The hall is home to the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra (HSO) and offers a broad program that includes classical music, jazz, choral concerts, and children's performances, with two concert halls with 849 and 245 seats respectively. The Concert Hall was designated a cultural monument in 1997, and in 2024 the hall was awarded the Blue Shield emblem by The Hague Commission.
As an organization, the Concert Hall is organized under Sweden's largest cultural company, Helsingborg Arena and Scene, with the vision:
