Backstage at the Meyerhoff: An Inside Look at a Modern Landmark

After bumping up against scheduling conflicts one too many times at the Lyric Opera House, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra moved into its brand new home at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in 1982. A visual landmark in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood, the Meyerhoff also is a marriage of form and function on the inside as well, including improvements made in a late 1990s renovation. On our tour, we will walk the stage and explore the basement, music library, and the area where the musicians hang out before the show. Along the way, we’ll learn the story of the Meyerhoff family, the work to create the Symphony Hall and its acoustical design, and the unforgettable concerts held within its walls.
