Great acoustics. A dignified, moderately-sized concert hall. Lovely place for a recital or chamber performance.

Loved this venue! Seating isnt individual seats like most places, they were benches with padded cushions. Bathrooms were located in the basement and very clean. The main hall was extremely close to the stage that we were able to interact with the performers. Attended a concert here and acoustics were great! Highly recommend this venue!

Nichols concert Hall is an acoustical marvel. It very comfortably seats 550 in the audience and all the sight lines are perfect. The staff at the Music Institute couldnt be more professional and they have a wonderful lineup of classical and jazz performances throughout the year - 5 big stars

Seats are old church pews so be prepared to sit up straight, but venue is beautiful!

A wonderful and beautiful venue that hosts the Bach Festival. Seating on two tiers including a mid-rise balcony with good sight lines. Great acoustic and in the middle of the town.

Duo-Fest is an amazing annual event and the venue is awesome. The acoustics are very good and all seating is close enough to enjoy the performances.

A nice ornate theatre that use to be a church! But the acoustics are so good that it was converted into a entertainment venue. The original pews are still there, making it a little uncomfortable after a while! But still its a great place to see a live musical or band with singer.

I loved it. Staff was helpful, friendly and professional. Music was top notch. The venue is fantastic. Parking can be tough, but thats not their fault.

The Jazz Tribute to Lionel Hampton was fabulous! Joe Locke, Tammy McCann and Thaddeus Tukes were exceptional. Jeremy Kahn (fellow Oak Parker), Audrey Morrison, Victor Garcia, Joshua Ramos, and Samuel Jewell provided perfect accompaniment and fantastic talent and the orchestra was icing on the cake. Wish I could attend it all over again.

Concert hall in a converted church sanctuary. The site lines and accoustics are good, but not quite excellent. The setting is elegant, providing an excellent backdrop for small ensembles.

I found out about a concert there, I was supposed to go with a girlfriend and then she backed out so I was a little hesitant to go. I decided that I just moved into the neighborhood and I needed to do something and went. It was so lovely I am so grateful that I went. I can hardly wait till theres another events there. For free concert it was done extremely well there was a mixture of people from different backgrounds and you felt at home, theres only one thing the doorbell does not work so you have to be you just need to be patient for a couple minutes. Until someone hears you and lets do it unless youre there exactly on time I happen to be running a few minutes late.

Very light ambience but world class performances. Easy access and plenty of street parking. Sometimes free concerts sometimes a little bit pricy.
