Friends of Music Hall Relaunch Outdoor Tours
Groups of 8 can learn about Music Hall’s fascinating
architecture and history

CINCINNATI – Ever walked by historic Cincinnati Music and wondered who designed it or who built it? Did you know it’s actually three buildings? You can get the scoop on these topics and more with an Outdoor Building Tour by thoroughly trained and knowledgeable guides from the Friends of Music Hall. You’ll learn about the symbolism and design of Music Hall’s architecture, the challenges of the building’s construction, and the people who made it happen back in 1878.

Music Hall has been shuttered by Covid-19 limitations since March, including no tours inside the building. However, with thorough attention to safety, 60-minute outdoor tours have been reinstated on Thursdays and Saturdays through the end of October. For this month tours will happen on September 17 and 24 at 4 p.m. and on September 19 and 26 at 10 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. Tours are offered rain or shine.

Guests and guides are required to wear a mask or face covering. Everyone is asked to remain at least six feet apart during the walking tour. To facilitate social distancing, tour groups are limited to eight people. Larger groups can be arranged by calling 513-744-3293 or musichalltour@friendsofmusichall.org.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, up to three hours before the start of the tour either online FriendsofMusicHall.org or by calling 513-621-2787. Tickets are $15 per person; $5 for children under 12. When 5-8 tickets are purchased together, the charge is $13 per ticket.

Student groups are eligible for $5 discounts. A 10% discount is offered to members of the Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Music Hall, Cincinnati Arts Association members, and Certified Tourism Ambassadors.

Interviews with tour guides can be arranged by calling Mindy Rosen at 513.535.0678
