Harmonie, located in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, is a renowned concert hall with a rich history dating back to 1872. Originally built as a ‘schuttershof’ (militia hall) it underwent significant renovations in 1911 transforming it into a dedicated performance space. The building’s architecture reflects late 19th-century styles, and it has been a central cultural hub for the Friesland province for over a century.

Throughout its existence, Harmonie has hosted diverse performances including classical music concerts, theatrical productions, and contemporary music events. It is known for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere despite its capacity of approximately 650 seats. The venue plays an important role in the regional arts landscape, supporting both established artists and emerging talent. The building is currently managed by Omrop Fryslân, the public broadcasting organization for Friesland.
