FirstOntario Concert Hall is a music and performing arts venue in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The venue was originally known as Hamilton Place, and in 1998, became known as the Ronald V. Joyce Centre for the Performing Arts at Hamilton Place after receiving a donation from the Joyce Family Foundation. In 2016, FirstOntario Credit Union made a $2.5 million deal for the naming rights.
The venue is the permanent home of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra and Opera Hamilton.
