Vienna, Austria, by far.

Ludwig van Beethoven, Alban Berg, Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner, Joseph Haydn, Franz Liszt, Gustav Mahler, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Arnold Schoenberg, Franz Schubert, Strauss, Antonio Vivaldi are the most legendary that composed many masterpieces there, but there are several more "second/third tier" great composers too.

You forgot about Falco. 🤣

No but seriously... Vienna was the center of music for centuries.

I mean check this list out and this is only one of MANY MANY music halls.

London and Paris being close seconds.

For modern music:
Detroit/Motown area
Los Angeles
Chicago
New York
London
Nashville
Seattle

However, I'd like to point out the music scene I'm in (Provo, UT) is the most underrated in the nation according to this article: https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/the-most-underrated-music-cities-in-america

Here's a playlist/SLP dedicated to the Provo music scene:

This is also a fun/boring list:

I think I need to move to Vienna at some point. I think the stork dropped me off in the wrong country when I was born 🤣

Actually, I always was amazed at the small amount of good music out of Chicago compared to other American cities. Of course, theres some. But not as much as you'd expect from a city that humongous.
