We have been to many concerts thru the years. NEVER has there been a better place in our opinion to experience the deep rich and authentic sounds of music than at Schermerhorn. Everyone should put attending a symphony at Schermerhorn on their bucket list and go at least once! More

The acoustics are wonderful, the orchestra musicians are fabulous and the conductor is a hoot (imagine Abert Einstein waving his arms around) !!! I've seen shows that range and date from "The Kings" (Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph & Floyd Cramer) back in 1973 as a 13 year old with my mom to Robert Plant's first post-Led Zepplin concert (w/ Phil...

The building is beautiful inside and outside, the decor is very calming and tasteful, and the acoustics are absolutely incredible - compared to the very best in Europe and the U.S. I have attended at least a dozen events at the Schermerhorn, and each event had its own personality and amazingly talented performers. My only problem with the Symphony Hall... More

We love attending events at the Schermerhorn! The facility is amazing and the performances are always top notch. The prices are very reasonable- make sure to ask about senior, student, and military discounts, which you can't get if you buy tickets online. The parking is miserable, so plan to arrive very early, park at a distance and walk to the... More

Although I have only been to one show here it was a great time and the building was very impressive as well. Staff was great and they had a full bar, although it was a bit pricey they had a great selection. They also have full menu but you must get there early to really enjoy this part. The building...

anything you attend at the symphony Center gets extra entertainment value because the building is so elegant and well done. Parking costs and takes time to get parked, down the elevators and to the symphony center across the street. More

I gave my husband tickets to see TAO in March for our anniversary. We are not typical symphony visitors, but couldn't pass up this unusual event. The company I work for is very generous in donations to this organization and I can now see why. The inside of this establishment is VERY attractive. The seats we had were great and... More
