History

The Tula Regional Philharmonic is currently located in the historical center of the city, in a beautiful building, which is an architectural monument of the twentieth century. It was built according to the plan of the famous Russian architect IA Ivanov-Shits. When creating the project, he combined at once two styles: Neoclassicism and Art Nouveau. Initially, the building was built for the local noble club. Due to the fact that in one of the halls was erected a stage, the club since 1918 was used for theatrical productions, and in 1925 was officially transferred to the Tula Drama Theater. Later, in the 70's, the philharmonic society settled here, which previously was located in the local concert bureau.
