Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts (vaulted glass-roofed concert complex)

The Kimmel Center, opened in 2001 on South Broad Street, is a major performing-arts complex known for its distinctive barrel-vaulted glass roof covering an internal garden and lobby. It houses Verizon Hall, the primary concert hall for the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Perelman Theater for chamber performances and recitals. The building’s modern design and public interior spaces have made it a focal point of the Avenue of the Arts.
