Symphony Hall, Concert hall in Back Bay, Boston, United States.
Symphony Hall features a rectangular shape with sloping walls, combining brick, steel, and plaster construction to create superior acoustic properties.
Designed by McKim, Mead and White architects, Symphony Hall opened in 1900 after 17 months of construction at a cost of 771,000 dollars.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops perform regular concerts in this 2,625-seat venue, presenting classical music, film scores, and special programs.
Symphony Hall maintains its original leather seats from 1900 and houses a 4,800-pipe Aeolian-Skinner organ installed in 1949.
The name of Beethoven appears above the stage as the only musician honored, since the original directors could not agree on any other composer.
