Most CSO and Pops concerts take place at Music Hall, located at 1241 Elm Street, just north of the downtown Cincinnati business district, a short distance from hotels and downtown restaurants and attractions.

Music Hall was built in 1878 and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1975. Music Hall is owned by the City of Cincinnati and managed by the Cincinnati Arts Association. The Music Hall Revitalization Corporation is overseeing the exciting $100 million dollar revitalization of Music Hall. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2012.
