Mayo Concert Hall

The Mildred & Ernest E. Mayo Concert Hall is a beautiful performance space located in the Music Building. The Concert Hall, which opened in October 1993, is the primary performance space for the Department of Music. Stately columns, cherry wood, and deep blue colors accentuate the Georgian design. Acoustics are superb, especially for solo, chamber instrumental, orchestral and choral performance.

The Concert Hall seats 311 patrons. The raked seating area assures each patron close proximity to the stage, an excellent view and balanced sound. Additional features include the spacious Pelson Lobby, adjacent classroom and rehearsal facilities, and two private dressing rooms.
