About

The Bradley Symphony Center is the permanent home of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1959 and now one of America's leading ensembles. Located at 212 West Wisconsin Avenue in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, the venue is a lovingly restored former movie palace — originally the Warner Grand Theater — renovated and reopened to audiences in October 2021. Its 1,650-seat main concert hall, Allen-Bradley Hall, hosts the MSO's acclaimed season of performances under Music Director Ken-David Masur. The orchestra has a storied history of artistic firsts, including premiering works by John Adams, Philip Glass, and Roberto Sierra, and was the first American orchestra to offer live recordings on iTunes. Beyond the stage, the MSO reaches more than 30,000 children and families each year through education programs including the nationally recognized Arts in Community Education (ACE) initiative, serving 5,500 students, teachers, and administrators in the Milwaukee area annually.

Our Guidelines

1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page

Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.

2. Include All Mobility Devices

Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.

3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance

ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.

4. Visibility = Accessibility

If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
