About Symphony Hall

Symphony Hall opened in 1900 to a design by McKim, Mead and White and is home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops. The Handel and Haydn Society and other ensembles perform here too. Above the stage sits a 4,800-pipe Aeolian-Skinner organ installed in 1949, and during Pops season tables replace seats on the main floor. Free public walk-up tours start in the Box Office Lobby on Massachusetts Avenue and cover public spaces plus some behind-the-scenes areas when available.
