Franjo Krežma Concert Hall (Croatian: Koncertna dvorana Franjo Krežma) is the first concert hall in Osijek, situated inside Cultural Center Osijek.[1]
The size of the hall itself is 1000 m2 with a 400 seat capacity. It is the most modern concert hall in Croatia and the second largest concert hall in the country after Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb.[2] It is named after Croatian violinist and composer Franjo Krežma.[3]
It is expected that its opening will make Osijek a regional center for classical music. The hall will house cultural and art events which previously could not be organized in Osijek.[4]
The total cost of construction was € 1,7 million. It was financed by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media, which contributed with € 930.000, together with the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds, which contributed € 770.000.[3]
