Beautiful venue with great acoustics. Seats are very comfortable and I was able to see the stage very well. Entering and exiting was handled very efficiently. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis -- could hear each member of the orchestra as they were meant to be heard.

We went in to just look around the Kimmel Center, concert was sold out. Magnificient. A volunteer noticed us looking around and very kindly took four of us on a tour. It was amazing and we can't wait to get tickets for an upcoming event.

We attend Philadelphia Orchestra Concerts in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center. The design and acoustics are wonderful and the huge pipe organ is the 2nd largest in the country.

This building is amazing. The architecture is stunning and dramatic. The acoustics are great, and the seating comfortable. We had a great view of the stage, and we were in the last row of the orchestra.

We were fortunate that the Philadelphia Orchestra was performing the week we visited with family. My daughter and her husband are classical musicians and were visiting from Colorado. We came in from Oregon. We all know the Philadelphia Orchestra is one of the top orchestras in the nation and the world. To see the Mahler 1 performed by this orchestra,...
