CARY MEMORIAL HALL

Cary Memorial Hall is a 780-seat historic auditorium at 1605 Massachusetts Avenue in Lexington Center, housed within the Cary Memorial Building. The main performance space, Battin Hall, offers approximately half its seating on the floor level and half on a mezzanine. The building also contains the smaller Estabrook Hall with a compact recital stage.

Expect a polished concert-hall experience with programming including live music, comedy, family shows, and community events. The venue is managed by Spectacle Live and is home to the Lexington Symphony. Acts range from national touring performers to tribute bands and cultural events.

The Cary Memorial Building was built in 1928 with a donation from two daughters of Isaac Harris Cary. The Colonial-style building served the community for decades before a full renovation in 2015. In 2012, the main auditorium was renamed Battin Hall in memory of Margery Milne Battin, who served as Moderator of Town Meeting for more than 20 years.
