Zhytomyr Regional Philharmonic named after S. Richter is one of the leading concert establishments in the country and the oldest theater in Ukraine.
The Philharmonic was built in 1858 as a theater premises at the expense of Polish nobles. At that time it was directed by a Polish theatrical figure, writer Józef Kraszewski. The hall was almost perfectly round, so it had great acoustics.
