The historic Symphony Hall theatre is home to Broadway-style theatre, top-quality children’s programming, internationally recognized speakers and numerous concerts and performances.
Constructed between 1911-1913 and originally known as “The Auditorium,” Symphony Hall is known for its excellent acoustics and Greek Revival architecture. It is part of the architecturally significant Springfield Municipal Group, and sits beside an ornate, 300 foot tall Italianate Campanile, which, in turn, is located next to Springfield’s Greek Revival City Hall. The Municipal Complex’s architecture is a notable example of the City Beautiful style made popular by Daniel Burnham, an architect from Chicago, Illinois, in the early 20th century.
The Springfield Municipal Complex was dedicated by President William Howard Taft in December 1913. In his dedication, Taft praised the three buildings as “one of the most distinctive civic centers in the nation, and indeed, the world.”
The Auditorium was renamed Symphony Hall during the 1940s, after it became the main performance venue for the Springfield Symphony Orchestra. It is also home to Broadway-style theatre, children’s programming, internationally recognized speakers, and the annual induction ceremony for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, as well as numerous concerts and performances including the Spirit of Springfield’s annual holiday concert by the 215th Army Band of the Massachusetts Army National Guard.
