The majestic snow-white building of the concert hall is located at the intersection of Navoi Avenue and the former Parade Alley of Mustaqillik Square.

Project authors: architects Yu. Khaldeyev, M. Neklyudova, L. Adamov, and F. Tursunov; engineer S. Petrov.

Originally designed for the Russian Drama Theatre, the theatre eventually moved into the former House of Knowledge building. In 1993, this building opened as the “Turkistan” Concert Hall. To the left of the main structure, on the bank of the Ankhor canal, an open-air summer stage was created, forming a unified concert complex with the main hall.

Architecture historian Olga Kazakova writes: “Over the 25 years from the start of design to completion of construction, this building managed to change its name, purpose, location, and exterior appearance. It is precisely because of this that it has become important for understanding the architectural history of Tashkent.”

The main decoration of the façade consists of stalactite niches characteristic of the national architectural tradition. In the white-marble foyer, the stalactite motif continues, but unlike the laconic façade, here appear carved ganch panels, elegant chandeliers, and ornamental decoration on the second-floor landings.

The auditorium is adorned with ornamentation stylized in the Islamic tradition. It is illuminated from above by a richly decorated elliptical niche with light fixtures.

The hall seats 894: 698 in the parterre and 196 on the balcony. Its unique stage measuring 31 × 25 metres and 26 metres high is considered the largest stage platform in the country.

In front of the building towering over Navoi Avenue stand a fountain and a column topped with a mythical bird.
