The former building of Ganja State Philharmonic located at 135 Attarlar street was constructed in 1985.[4] In 2012, it was decided to dismantle that building because it was in emergency situation. Therefore, new building of the Ganja Philharmonic Society replacing the building of Baku Movie Theater and Children’s Creative Center was constructed [6] between 2012 and 2017 based on the project of the architect Ramiz Huseynov.[7] The new building located at the intersection of the streets of Javadkhan and Hasan bay Zardabi was inaugurated on November 10, 2017.[4][8]

The new 6-storey building consists of the main concert hall for orchestral performances with 1200 seats, a conference hall for 300 seats, 11 loges, as well as administrative, training, make-up and recreation rooms.
