Go Behind The Scenes!
Free Tour of Symphony Hall

Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of America's premier concert hall. Experienced members of the Boston Symphony Association of Volunteers unfold the history and traditions of the Boston Symphony Orchestra-its musicians, conductors, and supporters-as well as offer information about the Hall.

The Boston Symphony Association of Volunteers offers tours of Symphony Hall during the symphony season. Tours include viewing of public spaces in Symphony Hall, as well as select behind-the-scenes areas when available. Tours begin at the Massachusetts Avenue lobby entrance.
