Great A/C. A bit of a walk if you're disabled. Great parking available. There is an elevator but it doesn't go all the way to the top level seats. Seats very comfortable.

Jones Hall is the elder jewel in the entertainment district. Beautifully appointed, with beverages available during intermission, access to facilities and valet or self parking, it hosts many fabulous venues throughout the year. It is an icon itself! More

Specifically, the overtones are so overpowering that they "re-compose" (or decompose...) the music you are hearing. It sounds like the hall is "composing" new melodies in the 3-4khz range. (This is in the upper register of the orchestra/piano, which should be audible for anyone of any age who does not have serious hearing disabilities.) I heard Andre Watts perform with... More
