In 1872 citizens of Chernivtsi established the Music Society and in April 1876 the first stone was put into the foundation of the future accommodation of the Society in Mehlplatz ("Flour square”, now Philharmonic sq.). In December 1877 the building was finished. Its walls and halls painted by Karl Jobst, a professor of history painting remember the most distinguished stars of the XIX century – Solomiya Krushelnytska, Enrico Caruso, Arthur Rubinstein. After more than a hundred of years these premises given to Chernivtsi Music Hall will give its name to the square where it stands.
