Venue Information - Symphony Hall
Symphony Hall is home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops. The hall can accommodate an audience of 2,625 and is admired for its lively acoustics, often cited as one of the best-sounding classical concert venues in the world. The hall's design features a rectangular "shoebox" shape, which contributes to its superior acoustics. The walls of the stage slope inward to help focus the sound, and the side balconies are shallow to avoid trapping any sound. The coffered ceiling and statue-filled niches along the three sides help distribute sound throughout the hall.
