The Thessaloniki Concert Hall is a performing arts center on Maria Callas Street in Thessaloniki, Greece. It opened on January 2, 2000, on land donated by the Greek state, at a cost of 41 million euros.
The complex has two main buildings. The first, called M1, has an auditorium that seats 1,400. The second, M2, was designed by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. It has a more contemporary style and several smaller performance spaces.
The hall hosts concerts, opera and conferences, along with educational and outreach activities. The violinist Christos Galileas was appointed artistic director for a three-year term beginning January 1, 2021. He is an associate professor of violin at Georgia State University.
