CSO Concert Hall (Turkish: Cumhurbaşkanlığı Senfoni Orkestrası Konser Salonu) is a concert hall in Ankara on Atatürk Boulevard. The location for the building was prepared in 1995, however construction was delayed because of economic problems.[1] The new building was scheduled to open in 2015 [2] but delayed, and opened in 2020. It is used primarily by the Presidential Symphony Orchestra, and hosts other orchestras.

Design[]

The building was designed by Semra and Özcan Uygur of Uygur Architects during a National Architectural Competition in 1992.[3]
