About Casa da Música
Casa da Música is Porto's most iconic cultural institution, a stunning concert hall designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas that has become one of the most recognisable buildings in Portugal. The venue hosts world-class music across all genres — from classical and jazz to electronic and world music — and its programming is consistently adventurous and high quality. The building's extraordinary architecture, with its angular white concrete form, has become a symbol of Porto's cultural ambition.
History
Opened in 2005 as Porto's contribution to its year as European Capital of Culture, Casa da Música was designed by Rem Koolhaas of OMA. The building's unconventional design — which prioritises acoustic quality and visual drama — was controversial at first but has since been embraced as one of Portugal's architectural masterpieces.
