After the war, artists began to actively tour the country. In the 50s, the famous jazz orchestra was created here, led by Oleg Lundstrem. A few years later he was transferred to Moscow.
In 2000, the Philharmonic Hall (Kazan) was reconstructed. Now it is equipped with the latest equipment and is designed for 610 listeners.

For the year, artists hold over eight hundred concerts. They participate not only soloists and philharmonic groups.
