Standing in a prominent position next to the State Theatre and opposite the Hofburg of Innsbruck, the House of Music replaces the so-called “civic halls”, erected in 1890. These were largely destroyed in 1944, but were then reconstructed in a new form by 1966.
The present development not only replaces the previous halls; it also provides space for seminars, rehearsals and administrative functions for many musical institutions, including the Mozarteum, the State Conservatoire, the Tyrol Symphony Orchestra and various musical societies. In this way, it proved possible to unite different institutions scattered about the city beneath a single roof and to generate a vibrant location that acts as a centre for performances and education and also as a workplace.
