Symphony Hall, Boston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts is widely considered to be one of the two or three finest concert halls in the world, alongside Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and Vienna's Grosser Musikvereinssaal. Symphony Hall was inaugurated on October 15, 1900, after the Orchestra's original home (the Old Boston Music Hall) was threatened by road-building and subway construction. The sixteen Greek and Roman statue replicas lining its walls were installed as an echo of the frequently quoted words, "Boston, the Athens of America," written by Bostonian William Tudor in the early 19th century. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Symphony_Hall,_Boston   (713 words)

Greg Sandow -- Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Greg Sandow -- Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony I've heard six BSO concerts in the past year, though, three in Boston and three in Carnegie Hall, and only one of the concerts was worth hearing -- the one in Boston led by principal guest conductor Bernard Haitink, who got a foot-stomping ovation from the musicians when he took his bows at the end. The Boston Globe even did a story on it, in which the BSO absurdly charged me with having an "agenda."

Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove at Symphony Hall — Boston Jazz   (Site not responding.

These three outstanding musicians, representing nearly three generations of jazz history, were there to pay tribute to Miles Davis and John Coltrane—both of whom would have turned 75 years old that year. The concert promises to be a natural evolution from three of the strongest living voices in jazz today, and the band, who was beguiled by the excellent sound quality as well as the hipness of the audience on its last outing at Symphony, returns to pick up where it left off. www.bostonjazz.net /newsitems/hancocksymphony   (496 words)
