Great place for small venue performances

Great place for small venue performances
Saw/ heard Beethoven's Violin Concerto by a somewhat lesser know orchestra who did a fine, no, wonderful rendition.

Harvard are Harvard, While the theater was quaint and full of history, the interview and launch of Randall Munroe's new book, "how to" was the main attraction. For XKCD fans this is an event not to be missed with humorous anecdotes on the research behind the book to some personal stories from Randall. No individual seats at the theater, just benches and the seating is tight, but well worth it for the event.

Interesting venue, but not my first choice for a concert. Acoustics are not the best and the seats are among the most uncomfortable in Cambridge. Prefer several other sites for a two hour concert.

Too bad such great performers play at Saunders theater because the seats are uncomfortable and you are squeezed into a row that has at least two too many people in it. If you are really unlucky you will sit next to someone who is obese - not good when the seats are pew style

This place is extroidanary! I wanted to go see the inside, ALL of the inside all the way to the top. Annenburg Hall is adjacent and we snuck into there for a minute but got kicked out shortly after lol... The hall is now a freshman only dining hall.

I was here Sunday February 25,2018 to enjoy a splendid concert . I purchased a Balcony A, row EE, seat 4 ticket. This sit is abstracted with balcony bars so that I could see only 1/8 of the orchestra. I couldn't see the conductor and the pianist at all. This seat should be prohibited for sale. When I was trying to change that nasty seat for a better one, the ladies who are in the concert hall to make the customers comfortable ruined my Sunday to the worst. There were plenty of not taken seats. They wouldn't let me take any of them. There was a guy sitting in front of me taking all the 4 seats in the row. When I was trying to change my nasty seat one of the ladies took me by hand and ordered to go back to my seat. Both of them were chasing me even during the intermission when I was busy with my phone. One of them came up to me and ordered not to do any photography, which I wasn't doing. Looked like they planned to ruin my day. That was a terrible experience. I wish people like that shouldn't take such positions if they plan on making us uncomfortable. The worst experience I ever had visiting a concert hall.

Came here for the Christmas Revels and it was fantastic. Sanders Theater in the hall was perfect for it because at one point you leave and go into the entrance hall. The hall looks very old, but well maintained, so it went perfect with the play being centered in the 1800s.

We go there on concerts of Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. The atmosphere is amazing. It's a small hall where you can see musicians even from the last row.

I have a student ID and buy two tickets for $10 each. And I can watch here concerts that are played in Boston Philharmonic Orchestra for much higher price.

Attended a Beethoven concert with the Boston Philharmonic. The music was lovely and the conductor was funny and engaging. However...There were two photographers that were there to record the event. The photographers made noise (clicking cameras) the entire time, at one point in the concert there was one photographer 3 ft behind me clicking away and the other was 10 ft to my right.

Needless to say they ruined the experience for myself and the others around me. Not sure why one would need to take hundreds of photos of a stationary subject. I emailed the the Office for the Arts at Harvard and they never bothered to respond. Poor form
