The Palais des Fêtes (Festival Palace) is a music venue in the Neustadt district of Strasbourg, in the French department of the Bas-Rhin.

[1] Well known conductors such as Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Charles Munch,[2] Bruno Walter,[3] Wilhelm Furtwängler,[4] Herbert von Karajan,[5] Karel Ančerl,[6] Pierre Boulez[7] and Lorin Maazel,[8] among others, have all conducted guest concerts in the Palais.

In 1904, the premises were already considered too small and a new story was added on the current rue de Phalsbourg, including a rehearsal room now called Salle Balanchine.

[12] Plans to further expand the size and capacity of the Sängerhaus by adding a new wing at the rear were set up shortly before World War I. Strasbourg was again a French city when work was finally conducted.

The other parts of the building mostly retained their Art Nouveau decoration and elements, including stained glass and door handles.

It is still home to La Philharmonie, a medium-sized semi-professional orchestra founded in 1900 that performs three times a year,[15] and occasionally hosts jazz, rock, gospel and other non-classical music genres.
