SPMH (The Society for the Preservation of Music Hall) is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Cincinnati's historic Music Hall.

SPMH members are people from all walks of life who are dedicated to preserving not only the structure of Music Hall as a national historic monument, but also want to preserve the memories of people who've performed and attended events here. SPMH also works to promote Music Hall as one of the world's foremost performing arts and entertainment facilities.

Music Hall was built in 1878 and was recognized as a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior in 1975. Music Hall is owned by the City of Cincinnati and managed by the Cincinnati Arts Association.

Music Hall is located just north of the downtown Cincinnati business district, within walking distance of hotels and downtown attractions and across from the newly-renovated Washington Park.
