Second year in a row for the Holiday Pops show. It's a great show, tons of fun, with Santa & sing-a-long in the 2nd half. The only downside, is it is so cold in the auditorium. I had to keep my winter coat on to feel comfortable. Many people around us were commenting on the draft as well. I also rem...

Symphony Hall was everything I had hoped. I watched Evening at Pops for years and finally experienced a Pops concert in person. The seating feels more intimate than I'm used to in Chicago, and the sound has a very warm but clear and vibrant quality. Really the only problems I had were with the fact ...

I haven't been in BSO since I was a child. I went with friends that I have known since middle school (in the late 60's) to attend the Gospel Night. It was awesome. The music, the guest singer, the choir, the orchestra and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Had a wonderful time. Will definitely do this a...

What a gem this hall is! One of my fondest memories is performing a concert here while a member of the now-defunct Newton Symphony Orchestra. From a musician's point of view, it can't get much better; unlike other halls, you can hear yourself and the rest of the orchestra clearly, at the same time...

Result: among the five greatest acoustic venues in the world. Combined with the Boston Symphony/Boston Pops "Essentually the same orchestra and on...

This place was so much fun. I attended the Gospel night featuring Dottie Peoples who had everyone clapping and singing. I was happy to be seated on the floor not in the balcony area, which I found very spacious and more relaxing than the balcony. I totally enjoyed the songs that were done with the B...

The tour is interesting, the guide shows some spots that the musicians uses before the shows, like the tuning room and the library. They also play the organ to show the hall acoustic, very beautiful. On the Boston Symphony website you can see the tour schedule. Recommend!

I love the performances and talks. Boston Symphony Hall and the BPD manage foot and car traffic at a tough location very well. People keep their phones on vibrate for the State of the City but not for many other performances at Boston Symphony Hall.
