Slesvigske Musikhus is a concert hall on Louisevej in Haderslev, inaugurated on 21 November 2008. Designed by Zeni Arkitekter of Aabenraa, it was built through a collaboration between the Danish Armed Forces and Haderslev Municipality, with funding from the A.P. Møller Foundation. The hall seats 149 and is home to Slesvigske Musikkorps, one of the three full-time professional military bands in Denmark. Haderslev Kammermusikforening also holds concerts here, and the local music school uses the practice rooms for tuition.
