Concert Hall

In the 1780s the architect Giacomo Quarenghi constructed in the Catherine Park a Concert Hall that he described as “a hall for music with two cabinets and an open-air temple dedicated to the goddess Ceres”. Confirmation of the fact that the pavilion was conceived as a temple to the goddess of agriculture is the panel An Offering to Ceres in its large hall. It depicts a statue of the deity in the portico of a temple, with an altar set up before it. Originally this pavilion was called “the Temple of Friendship”, but after 1788 in accordance with Catherine II’s wishes it was referred to as the Music or Concert Hall.
