Initially, the Philharmonic Hall was a department of the “Lenconcert”. The theatre got its current status in 1989. The head of the Philharmonic Hall for Children and Youth is the People's Artist and chief conductor of the symphony orchestra M. S. Golikov.

The Philharmonic Hall has three theatres with a symphony orchestra: drama, puppet and opera theatre. On the stage of the theatre one can see classical and modern productions based on world literature. The Philharmonic Hall supports youth initiatives and implements cultural programmes. The main goal for the Philharmonic Hall is to give the audience a sense of beauty. Philharmonic productions introduce young viewers to the art of music in a playful way. Thanks to the cooperation of creative teams and directors, performances turn into an unforgettable action.
