Boston Music Hall

Boston Music Hall

The Boston Music Hall was built in Boston in 1852, after a donation of $100,000 was made by the Harvard Musical Association towards its construction. Ten years later, the members of the Association raised an additional $60,000 to install in the hall an organ built in Germany by Walcker Orgelbau. It was regarded as the largest organ in the United States, containing 5,474 pipes and 84 registers. After being threatened by road building and subway construction, the Music Hall was replaced as the home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1900 by the Symphony Hall.The former Boston Music Hall is known today as the Orpheum Theatre (not to be confused with the former "Music Hall", now the Wang Theatre). The organ is now in the Methuen Memorial Music Hall, in Methuen, Massachusetts.In 2008, a new venue will open on Lansdowne Street in Boston called "Music Hall." This venue will be the combination of the old Axis and Avalon nightclubs.
