Orchestra Hall – A Centennial Celebration

Special | 56m 52s

There have been many changes since Orchestra Hall’s opening night on Oct. 23, 1919. Times of peace. Times of war. Times of change in the city around it. Music filling the perfectly engineered acoustical masterpiece has ebbed and flowed, changed direction and even, for a time, was silenced. Yet, despite a storied past, its impeccable clarity and charm remain today, some 100 years later.
