Located in the historic Back Bay, the Berklee Performance Center is at the core of Boston's entertainment and cultural community. Many excellent restaurants and hotels as well as the Prudential Center, Fenway Park, and the Hynes Convention Center are within walking distance.
The Berklee Performance Center is easily accessible by public transportation, with parking available in neighboring garages.
Acquired by Berklee College of Music in 1972, the performance center has undergone extensive renovation resulting in a technically advanced, acoustically superior venue. An attractive alternative to convention centers and hotel spaces, it houses a variety of special events such as conferences and film screenings as well as plays and concerts. The center contains 1,220 seats, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, and a full range of multimedia capabilities. Its relationship with Berklee College of Music affords professional quality recording of events and concerts.
