Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts is widely considered to be one of the two or three finest concert halls in the world, alongside Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and Vienna’s Großer Musikvereinssaal. All three concert halls are renowned for their exceptional acoustics. As New York Times associate editor R.W. Apple, Jr. wrote of Symphony Hall, it “need not take a back seat, aesthetically or acoustically, even to the Musikverein in Vienna.” It is the home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops and is a block away from the New England Conservatory.
