The Cleveland Orchestra was among the first American orchestras heard on a regular series of radio broadcasts, and the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Concert Hall at Severance (known at the time as Severance Hall) was one of the first concert halls in the world built with recording and broadcasting capabilities.

Each one-hour tour is led by a volunteer tour guide who shares Severance Hall's history and legends as patrons visit the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Concert Hall, Bogomolny-Kozerefski Grand Foyer, Smith Lobby, the Organ Loft, Green Room, Ong & Lerner Galleries, and the Reinberger Chamber Hall.

Concert duration: 1 hour 57 minutes including a 20 minute interval. Please note, children aged 15 years and under must be accompanied at all times by an adult when attending concerts at the venue.
