ICORIA 2024

Venue

The venue of ICORIA 2024 is the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.

Built along the coast of the city in an area of 18.000 sq.m., the Thessaloniki Concert Hall is a contemporary cultural and conference center of international standards with the capacity to host various events, including cultural and art expositions and conferences. Designed by the renowned architect Arata Isozaki, M2 (building 2) adorns the city with a unique construction that epitomizes the virtues of modern architecture. Geometrical lines, extended glass surfaces and elements of steel compose an image of imposing simplicity, that comes as an antithetic, yet equivalent complement to the neighboring M1 (building 1). Filled with natural light and enjoying a superb view to the sea, M2’s foyer is a vast space of sophisticated aesthetics that develops in three levels and adjoins all of the Hall’s important spaces. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and having an exceptional infrastructure, the Thessaloniki Concert Hall is also proud to house a Music Library and a Museum of Musical Instruments.
