The Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, was the host venue for the 1984 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians.[1]

The concert hall located in downtown Geneva was built between 1891 and 1894 by the architect John Camoletti and financed by the consul of England, Daniel Fitzgerald Packenham Barton, who dedicated it to Queen Victoria and gave it to the city of Geneva. Currently, the Victoria Hall is mostly used for classical music performances.[3]
