Jordan, 2nd, and was designed by architect Edmund Wheelwright, following the model of the European court concert halls of the Renaissance. The original cost was $120,000. All year long, music lovers come to Jordan Hall to hear performances by NEC students, faculty, and ensembles throughout the week, as well as weekend appearances by touring artists and Boston musical organizations.
