Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall

Totally enjoyed our visit tonight to the Home Alone Christmas event. Venue is beautiful the acoustics are amazing. I appreciate that they are doing these more family friendly events that are engaging to all ages. Why not 5 stars? They opened doors 15 minutes late on a cold night. Why not let people stand in the lobby area and stay warm? This was especially frustrating with kids. Bathroom lines on the bottom floor/​orchestra can be swamped at intermission. It’s worth the hike upstairs to skip the line. Parking garage across the street was efficient and $ 12.

I’ve been two the Meyerhoff two or three times. I’ve sat in on both lower level seats in the orchestra and up in the terrace seats.
THE GOOD…
–clean inside
–ushers will be helpful and point point you in the right direction
–drinks and such aren’t crazy expensive like other events
–events typically start and end on time
–parking garage is relatively close to venue
THE BAD…
–seats are terribly uncomfortable
–minimal leg space
-$ 12 for parking is ridiculous… if you buy the parking pass in advance there should be some sort of discount
–sound could be better
Overall I’m not a big fan of the Meyerhoff. It’s not the most comfortable venue to see a concert. If they need more modern seats with leg space.

Bottom Line: A lovely place in Baltimore to listen to music.
The Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall is home to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra but there are plenty of other musical acts to see, and better yet, hear here. Although the hall, built in the early 1980s and renovated in 2001, looks a little dated, it is a very nice venue as its clean, well maintained and has a friendly staff. Perhaps most importantly, this curvy building has great acoustics. The ceiling has round disks on it that look like Tylenol but actually help reflect the sound from the stage.
Attending a concert at the Meyerhoff is convenient as there are two parking garages nearby that make the walk to the hall less than a block. It costs $ 12 to park. Of course after the show there will be a long line of cars to get out of the garage so you can skip the line and head to Ryleigh’s Oyster right in front of the Hall to grab a late night bite or night cap. The parking garage stays open for several hours after nighttime shows.
In advance of shows and during intermissions, drinks may be purchased in the lobby and you can even take them into the auditorium with you.

What a beautiful piece of Baltimore in a city that’s struggling otherwise. This a jewel of Charm City, bringing culture and art to the masses. You wouldn’t think such a place exists, given the neighborhoods you have to drive through to get there, but once you head out of the parking garage and into it you feel a different air.
I’ll admit, like convention halls, it’s hard to judge a concert center by attending a show. You’re really reviewing the show rather than the hall itself. Still, you can note the behavior of the staff, the cleanliness of the place, and the comfort of your experience. I say all of these were top-​notch and it made for a great experience.
The only warning, and this may be show-​specific, is the concessions. They overcharge you here like you wouldn’t believe. We’re talking worse than movie theaters or sports stadiums, with $ 10 for an 8 oz mixed drink in a plastic cup (with ice) or $ 12 for a half a sandwich wrap. Still, you came here for the show, not the concessions, so either pony up the dish or eat before (or after).

I was here for the Jerry Seinfeld stand up comedy show. It was Awesome! The symphony seating was very comfortable and l love the set up. We were able to purchase adult bevetages before the show which was very refreshing. They do allow you to take it to your seat if you like. There was a warmup comedian to start us off before Jerry and he was very funny as well. If you’re familiar with the Jerry’ Seinfeld series then you already know that his comedy is pretty much about things that happen in life. Let him tell it and it’s a whole new hilarious story. I really enjoyed this performance and so glad that Jerry decided to come to the Baltimore area. Oh btw they have a parking garage about 1 ½ blocks away for $ 12.00 on the day of events. Now that’s pretty cool for Bmore because parking down there can be pretty darn expensive…

Be still, my music lovin’ heart. There is no better venue to go see the symphony (it’s intended purpose) or one of your favorite bands blow the roof off the place. I have been to about 15 concerts in my lifetime and I’ve never had a more intimate, comfortable experience. I guess you could say I’m a fan!
I drove up from Richmond to see Paramore last night and it. was. AMAZING. I really can’t believe that this venue opened in 1982 because it looks like it opened yesterday. It’s super clean, spacious, and organized. Having my ticket scanned was a breeze. The concert started at 7, but I got there at about 7:30 (thank God for opening acts!). I was glad to hear that the opening act was still going strong, so I took advantage of that and looked around for a bit before ordering a drank to take back to my seat.
When you first walk in, the «atrium» area is impressive! There are bars and plenty of tables and chairs to sit and enjoy a drink before the show. The bathrooms were kind of away from everything (which I liked!), but they were clean and served their purpose.
After a while I figured I had spent enough time dillydallying and I needed to make my way to my seat. I was immediately helped and shown to my seat (row M on the right side– perfect view!). I had some time to sit back and relax before they came on. I’m glad I did because it was the perfect opportunity to admire the view inside the Hall (GORGEOUS) and comment on the fancy shmancy comfortable seats. I happened to be going to this concert alone (because if you want to do something, then doggone it you do it whether someone is willing to do it with you or not!) but the cool thing was that the girl beside me as well as the guy in front of me and one other girl on my row were all there rockin’ out solo. We all had a fantastic time with our drinks and letting loose to the sounds of a crazy talented band.
You know what, this place was the definition of a well oiled machine. I am grateful that I’ve been able to see a show here and I am absolutely going back.

The hall was breathtaking! Classical music isn’t really my jam (I’m more of a sport game/​karaōke/​bar crawl kinda gal) but it was nice stepping out of my comfort zone when I had tickets to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the Meyerhof.
The performance was enjoyable; the only tricky part of the night was parking. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time of your planning to street park.

Was here for «A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Concert». JOSEPH MEYERHOFF SYMPHONY HALL is pretty new and beautiful. The concert itself is top-​notch. I had a great time, and can’t wait to plan for my next visit. Parking is $ 12 and it’s very convenient. You can park until the midnight (closed at 12pm). So the price is reasonable.
