Elevated experiences for musically minded travelers who are inspired by a deeper interaction with the people and places that produce world-class music.
Encore’s Symphony Hall Series gives orchestras the chance to rehearse, learn, and perform inside some of America’s most celebrated concert halls.
Designed for youth, school, collegiate, community, and adult orchestras, each event combines landmark venues, professional coaching, and thoughtfully planned musical experiences centered on artistic growth.
On November 2, 2026, the Symphony Hall Series brings orchestras to Boston Symphony Hall for a focused day of performance, collaboration, and professional instruction.
Ensembles take part in specialized coaching sessions by orchestral section, rotating on-stage ensemble workshops with a world-class clinician, and a dedicated Symphony Hall performance block.
The Symphony Hall Series continues in 2027 with events in Nashville, Cleveland, Baltimore, Boston, and Chicago.
