The Musikverein (also known as the "Wiener Musikverein") a concert hall in Vienna, Austria, was the host venue for the 1990 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians. It is the home to the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra.

The "Great Hall" ({{Lang|de|Großer Saal}}) due to its highly regarded acoustics is considered one of the finest concert halls in the world, along with Berlin's Konzerthaus, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and Boston's Symphony Hall.Long, Marshall, [http://mlacoustics.com/PDF/Shoebox.pdf "What is So Special About Shoebox Halls? Envelopment, Envelopment, Envelopment"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808081005/http://www.mlacoustics.com/PDF/Shoebox.pdf |date=8 August 2017 }}, Acoustics Today, April 2009, pp. 21–25. None of these halls was built in the modern era with the application of acoustics science and all share a long, tall, and narrow shoebox shape.

The {{Lang|de|Großer Musikvereinssaal}}, or {{Lang|de|Goldener Saal}} (Golden Hall), is about {{convert|49|m|ft|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|19|m|ft|abbr=on}} wide, and {{convert|18|m|ft|abbr=on}} high. It has 1,744 seats and standing room for 300. The Skandalkonzert of 1913 was given there, and it is the venue for the annual Vienna New Year's Concert.

Format

Gerhard Toetschinger was the host of the 1990 contest. 1988 winner Julian Rachlin performed as the interval act.
