This 317-seat, fully accessible recital hall is used for all Music Department concerts, including student recitals and featured guest performances. The hall&#8217;s design reflects its purpose: the interior shell suggests the elegant curvature of a string instrument, with an array of oak slats placed in mimicry of polyrhythms. A network of movable curtains behind the visible shell can adjust the hall&#8217;s warm acoustic to suit the Department&#8217;s many needs &#8212; more reverberant for choral music, cleaner for African drumming or pop combos, and anywhere in-between.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hall houses two Steinway D concert grand pianos, an Allen Q370 organ, as well as state-of-the-art recording and broadcast equipment. Interested students can be trained and eventually hired as sound technicians for the hall.
