The hall is the converted Patria cinema, between Bulevardul 15 Noiembrie and Strada Lucian Blaga, rehabilitated as the main concert room of the Brașov Philharmonic; the project was carried through under Cecilia Doiciu, director of the institution from 2007 to 2010. It seats 458. The orchestra, which traces itself to the Kronstädter Philharmonische Gesellschaft of 1878, dropped the name Gheorghe Dima it had carried for more than fifty years when it moved in. Symphonic concerts, chamber programmes, recitals and educational concerts fill its year.
