    Came to Memorial Hall for the Music NOW 2013 festival to see Glen Hansard and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.  The life-changing festival concert aside, the venue is absolutely gorgeous and beyond historically impressive.  We got there early enough to walk around get a true view of the building itself.  There are amazing historical pieces and documents all around the building, including some historical pieces showing the german history of the city of Cincinnati itself.  I look forward to the next opportunity I will find to visit this place and enjoy another phenominal music experience!

    Beautiful space. Needs a bit of love, but Cincinnati is fortunate to have this type of facility.

    I just recently shot a wedding at this place and absolutely LOVE it!  Alot of the furniture and decor are orginal.  Colors pop everywhere you go.  I know I could spend hours just photographing one spot.  
    If I would've known back in 2003 about Memorial Hall, I would have had my wedding ceremony/reception here.  It has so much character and history!

    Memorial Hall couldn't be prettier building. Gone try to find one. That's right, you can't ... Ok, maybe you can, but it's still up there on epic prettiness.

    Memorial Hall is a beautifully old building in Over-the-Rhine that hosts different events, functions and spaces. I've been there for a couple things now actually. I seen speakers speak on its beautifully decorated and gilded stage. I've seen the concerts that sound amazing. And I've been to parties held throughout the building.

    Every time I go I am more impressed with this old building. I believe it was designed the same architect who designed City Hall and Music Hall and its shows in everything he created. This is just such a grand space. From the first spacious rooms when you walk in, all wood dark with posters and artifacts and images from Cincinnati early history on its walls and in cases, spread throughout. You will learn just by walking through here. To the upstairs which is really the shining function of this building.

    The stage of Memorial Hall is just unbelievably pretty. It's got artwork and murals and engravings and carvings and it's just a sight to see. And the sound here couldn't be better. Whether you're seeing someone speak or listening to a concert, it just feels just the way you want it to.

    Memorial Hall is also home to the Classical Music Hall of Fame, surprisingly enough, so if that's your thing you may want to check it out.

    Plus, George Clooney filmed some of his upcoming movie here. Win times two.

    This isn't open all the time so you can't walk right in. Still, if you get the chance to see it, I of course would take it.

    Memorial Hall is one of the best kept secrets in town.  It is an incredibly gorgeous building, inside and out.  The incredible architectural elements on the outside of the building are just a preview of what you'll find inside.

    When you step into Memorial Hall you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time.  From the wood floors to the intricately carved doors to the marble staircases - it's something you won't see in any modern building.

    The auditorium is beyond stunning.  This room is really one huge piece of art.  The intricate paintings and details of this room are simply incredible.

    I saw the interior of Memorial Hall while on the Civil War Cincinnati Tour.  I don't know if the building is ever just open to the public for tours but if you find that it is - GO!  It's amazing!

    Memorial Hall is a beautiful 150- year old concert hall that seats about 300 people next to Cincinnati's famed Music Hall. I had the distinct pleasure of attending Day 2 of the Music NOW series held here on a recent trip to Cincinnati.

    Music NOW is a contemporary music series, now in its fourth season, that brings unique high-quality performers to Cincinnati. The 2009 artist in residence was the Kronos Quartet.

    The Kronos was joined both days by the fabulous duo the Books. Toumani Diabate, our original Day 2 guest, had to cancel due to a birth in the family, but the Books proved to be a fantastic substitute. Jumping off from pre-recorded samples and guitar layering, the Books are just a guitar and cello duo. Their wry stage banter translated somewhat to their ingenius use of video visuals which they performed in front of. It was an inspirational performance of original music and also impressive that they filled in for the absent Diabate with a different set than on Day 1 of the festival.

    Day 1 of the Music NOW festival looked interesting; the Kronos played contemporary pieces by John Zorn, Glen Branca, the Arcade Fire and Cafe Tacuba. Day 2  found them focusing on adaptations of traditional ethnic musics from many countries. We heard music of Iraq, Mexico, India, Greece and blues from America. At times the violinists filled in on native instruments. The principal violinist and the violist were excellent soloists, adapting their classical training seamlessly to the folk idiom.

    Music Hall is small enough that there's not a bad seat in the house, with a balcony above the orchestra seating. The Hall has nice reception areas on the main floor that proved perfect for hosting drinks during Intermission and also for the sale of CDs and unique tee shirts made on the spot for the wonderful Music NOW Festival.

    Memorial Hall is a GORGEOUS building that not many people in this city know exists. Located directly next to Music Hall and right across from Washington Park, it's in a beautiful and quickly changing neighborhood.

    It houses several things. First the American Classical Music Hall of Fame makes it's home here. Second, the Music Hall Box Office is located in the basement (thats where you go to get your tickets before the day of a show). Thirdly, there is one of the most gorgeous and oldest theater auditoriums in the region. It's so old that it still has lights on the edge of the stage. There are beautiful paintings all over and marble accents everywhere. It's truly stunning.

    Many events are held here. One year the Cincinnati Fringe Festival used the space for some plays, the Music Now Festival is here annually, and many special musical programs and events with the museum also take place.
