Symphony Hall is a Sirius XM Satellite Radio station featuring exclusively classical music. It is located on Sirius channel 76[1] (previously 80), XM channel 76[2] (previously 78) and DISH Network channel 6080. Originally Sirius only, it was merged with the XM Classics channel on November 12, 2008. Symphony Hall was also heard on Direct TV channel 864 prior to February 9, 2010, on which date all of the Sirius XM music channels were dropped from Direct TV in favor of the SonicTap music service provided by DMX.

Martin Goldsmith (former longtime host of the then-National Public Radio program Performance Today), Preston Trombly, Robert Aubry Davis, and Lauren Rico are the channel's current on-air voices. Special programs include Millenium of Music, Vox Choral, Baroque and Beyond, and the Radio Netherlands Worldwide program Live at the Concertgebouw. The channel also carried the syndicated daily program Exploring Music prior to April 2010.

Between 12 AM and 6 AM (ET), the channel's programming consists of automated classical music selections, with no on-air hosts.
