The Naumburg Bandshell, located on the north end of the Mall, was not part of the original design for the Park. It replaced a smaller music cast-iron bandstand, intended to be a place for visitors to gather and enjoy both popular and orchestral music. The neo-classical design commissioned and funded by philanthropist Ethan Naumburg, designed by Tachau & Vought Architects, is a structural concrete structure clad in limestone on the exterior and precast concrete on stage interior.

While the Naumburg Bandshell has a storied past and will celebrate its 100th year anniversary next year! A comprehensive restoration project commenced before the start of the pandemic and completed by June 2021, for the start of the Naumburg Orchestral Concert series. This restoration ensures that it will continue to be a place for performance and a place that brings people together for decades to come.
