City Halls is a significant concert venue in Glasgow, Scotland. Originally built in 1889 as part of a municipal complex including the City Chambers, it was designed by John Carrick. Initially functioning as a main hall for civic events and public meetings, it gradually became increasingly utilized for musical performances. The building underwent substantial refurbishment in the early 2000s to improve its acoustic properties and enhance its suitability as a dedicated concert space. It is now recognised for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere, hosting a diverse range of classical music concerts, including orchestral performances, chamber music recitals and choral works. The venue is managed by Glasgow Life, part of Glasgow City Council.
