Elder Hall is one of Australia’s
finest concert halls.

We are located in the heart of Adelaide in the grounds of the University of Adelaide on North Terrace. Part of the celebrated 'boulevard of culture and learning', Elder Hall is close to the Art Gallery, the South Australian Museum, and the State Library.

The building is of historical significance and is registered by the National Trust. The foundation stone was laid in 1898 and it was officially opened in 1900. The Hall was completely refurbished in 1978, and again in 2006. In 1979 a spectacular organ built by Casavant Freres of Quebec was installed. Crafted in the French Classical tradition, the organ is regarded as one of the finest instruments in the country.

Whilst Elder Hall is known primarily as a concert venue, it is also ideal for conferences, seminars, public lectures, award ceremonies and many other functions.
