Fredric R. Mann Auditorium , is the largest concert hall in
Tel Aviv ,
Israel , and home to the
Israel Philharmonic Orchestra .
The Israeli naming “Heichal ha-Tarbut” or “Palace of Culture” indicates the country’s original socialist orientation and thus follows the numerous palaces of culture in the former Soviet Union .
