Springfield Symphony Hall

We went to see Aziz Ansari here recently. It’s a beautiful venue, outside and inside! I thought it was charming and would love to come back again to see a musical or theater performance. Ushers and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Being that we were attending a comedy show, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to bring a drink to my seat. Au contraire! They had handy portable glasses of wine! None of that being corralled into a lobby during intermission gulping down a beer. It was nice to be able to enjoy the show and enjoy a drink at the same time. Springfield is fortunate to have this space. Hope to be back soon!

Cute little hall, parking very close and easy

Gorgeous acoustics, lovely venue (it’s no Bushnell, but hey), and an easy to find location near I-​91. I visited Symphony Hall for the first time tonight and watched an electrifying performance by the oh-​so-​talented Springfield Symphony — Holst’s «The Planets» and Dukas’s «The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.» Clearly, I was nerding out in the best way possible. It’s a wonderful cultural offering in downtown Springfield.
Gotta say– the venue was SO hot and stuffy that it kind of distracted me from parts of the performance, which is why I knocked the rating down a star. Some air conditioning would be niiiice. Tons of folks fanning themselves with the program made me realize I wasn’t alone.

Beautiful architecture, all the seats are good ones, and they allow you to bring wine to your seat now; frankly, what more can you ask for? Springfield gets a lot of bad press, and plenty of folks say there is nothing to do in this city, but the SSO really shows off some of the great local cultural offerings. I have a great time whenever I go!

A gem– right in our own backyard. A lovely theater with nice acoustics. Comfortable seats. Acoustics were off initially at the recent show I was at, but they fixed that. It’s a shame more people don’t go. Free parking. No need to drive to NYC or Boston.

Springfield’s SSO is renowned for being innovative, and its Springfield Hall is renowned for having «perfect acoustics.» In my opinion, both are true.
For a mid-​sized city, Springfield has some big-​time cultural options — this being one of them.

Music Director, Maestro Kevin Rhodes puts on great performances at Springfield Symphony Hall!
We’ve been to more than a handful of shows over the past two years and have always walked away humbled and filled with their increadible sound. If you are in doubt or a first-​timer, find a show that includes popular music, or go when the chorus (about 120 voices) is also performing.
Also — FYI — I have sat in the 4^th row center, in the middle and up on top in the back and I personally like the least expensive seats because you can see a better overview of the performers and the sound is just fantastic!
Matter of fact, I just checked and the end of season show is May 7^th, 2011 and I’m going to go buy my tickets!
Bravo Maestro Rhodes — Springfield is lucky to have you!
