The Busan Concert Hall is located within Busan Citizen Park and consists of a basement floor and three stories above ground. The main components of this facility are a large concert hall (2,011 seats) and a small performance hall (400 seats), equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to provide an optimal acoustic environment for the audience.

Notably, the Busan Concert Hall is the first outside the metropolitan area to introduce a pipe organ, which consists of 4,406 pipes and 62 stops. The concert hall adopts a vineyard-style seating structure that offers a beautiful visual effect for the audience.

Although the Busan Concert Hall was initially scheduled to be completed in August 2024, it will now officially open on June 20, 2025. This is expected to enhance Busan's cultural and artistic space significantly.
