Boston Symphony Orchestra live in Boston

Experience Boston Symphony Orchestra live on September 24th

The Boston Symphony Orchestra will perform at Symphony Hall on September 24, 2026. The Boston Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1881, is internationally renowned for its distinctive sound, often characterized by rich string tone and a robust brass section. Throughout its history, the orchestra has championed American composers while maintaining a strong tradition of performing core orchestral repertoire from the European classical canon. It frequently commissions new works and is known for its extensive recording history.

Symphony Hall, opened in 1900, is considered one of the most acoustically perfect concert venues in the world. Designed by McKim, Mead & White, its acoustics were largely unplanned but resulted from specific dimensional ratios and the use of materials like brick and wood. Notably, it’s built on a floating floor to minimize external vibrations. The hall’s interior features ornate detailing and a relatively intimate seating arrangement, fostering a close connection between performers and audience. It has been the primary performance home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since its opening and continues to host a variety of musical events throughout the year. The hall is also a National Historic Landmark recognized for its architectural and acoustic significance.
