Marian Anderson Hall is the principal concert hall inside the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and one of Philadelphia's leading venues for orchestral music and other performing arts events. With approximately 2,500 seats, the hall forms a distinctive multi-level auditorium within the complex designed by architect Rafael Viñoly. It is home to The Philadelphia Orchestra and is named in honor of renowned contralto Marian Anderson.
The interior is designed above all for a refined musical experience. Its acoustics can be adjusted for different types of performances through movable elements, curtains and reverberation chambers, while the multi-tier seating arrangement keeps much of the audience visually connected to the stage. Warm wood finishes, clear sightlines and the hall's large concert organ add to the atmosphere of a traditional concert venue within a contemporary architectural setting.
The venue is located at 300 S Broad St, Philadelphia, United States, inside the Kimmel Center on Broad Street. Audience entrances are directly accessible from Broad Street, several public parking garages are available nearby, and Walnut-Locust station is only a short walk from the building.
