Vega Hall

Vega Hall is known as a small but acoustically excellent concert hall, with a tower carillon that gracefully marks the time and a pipe organ that plays beautiful tones. The walls of the hall being made of individually hand-split red bricks, this hall boasts excellent sound effects. The hall is home to the Takarazuka International Indoor Choral Competition, the Takarazuka Vega Music Competition, and many other events that are favorably received every year as the events which represent Takarazuka, a city of music.
