A beautiful, medium size (seats almost 700) concert hall, with great acoustics. Fantastic sound for orchestras with a large-hall sound and feel for pianists - with two absolutely gorgeous Steinway grands!

Great venue for a concert. Plenty of leg room and great acoustics. The signs to the bathroom are a bit confusing and I spent a good ten minutes trying to find it before realizing a circle arrow meant behind you rather than around the corner... Fun venue and fun concerts.

This is a beautiful venue with amazing acoustics. Saw a Utah Chamber Artists concert here last Christmas and was stunned by the intimacy the place provided. The historic neoclassical building and reception area and the opulent ballroom/recital hall has been wonderfully restored and the modern concert hall is just as amazing. The atrium and mezzanine in between the two is spacious and airy. This is an incomparable place and showcases a talented and high caliber music department.

The hall is beautiful simplicity. The concert by Cantorum choir was awe inspiring. The pipe organ is magnificent.

Came here for a concert by the American Heritage Youth Choirs and it was fabulous!! Wow! This is a beautiful concert hall and made a great sound out of an exceptional choir. The closest free, and sufficient for a crowd, parking is a little too far away...at the Rice Eccles Stadium. (Especially on a freezing cold day) But that concert was worth coming to!!

Great acoustics! Very lovely facility! Very well-kept! And their choice and who they allowed to perform there has always been impressive to me. . The only reason I cant give it a five-star is because some of the ushers have been a little bit less than five star.

Incredible architecture and world class acoustics. Perfect place for recording sessions. I would love to hear that beautiful pipe organ someday.

Beautiful acoustics. This Hall on the University of Utah campus attracts some top musicians. Some excellent student recitals are held here.

Singing here was an fantastic experience. My director raved for weeks beforehand about the great acoustics and for once he wasnt full of it, would definitely recommend attending any kind of concert here.

This is a nice concert hall that seems to be underutilized. Comfortable seats and nice acoustics coupled with intriguing architecture.

Great spot for music performance, both from visiting musicians as well as from the School of Music at the University of Utah. Can be a little bewildering to find if you go in the main front doors. Usually there are signs, though. Beautiful modern interior in one of the Us National Register of Historic Places listed buildings. I imagine organ recitals are incredible here.

Such a beautiful concert hall. I loved the atmosphere and loved that no matter what seat I was in, I had a good view of the stage and all of the performers

Beautiful hall, we perform here every year for band festival and the acoustics are amazing, seating beautiful and comfortable, and there are several classrooms and a plethora of accessible bathrooms, drinking fountains, and places to eat nearby. It really is a very calm, light, and beautiful place to be and perform in, and everyone seems to agree that it is one of the best acoustic halls in Utah.

Amazing hall, great acoustics for band and orchestras. Saw the University of Utah Wind Ensemble last night. So beautiful!

The venue is normally very nice, but tonight, not at all. I took my 5-year old daughter on a daddy-daughter date to the U of U Chamber Choir concert. As we started to enter the venue, the ticket checking host shouted, literally, YOU CANT BRING HER IN HERE! NOBODY UNDER 8 YEARS OLD IS ALLOWED! I didnt want to make a scene, and further upset my little girl, so didnt challenge the older gentleman, but all the strangers around us came to our defense. I went back to the ticket office to double check and was told the same, so we quietly left. Besides the rude manner in which the rule was communicated, its a boneheaded rule. Children should be exposed to the arts from the day they are conceived. If children-- or adults-- disrupt an event, then enforce their departure. Its not about 8 months, 8 years, or 8 decades; its about behavior. Our daughter missed the chance to see her cousin and my niece perform tonight for no good reason and the older gentleman that invoked the rule needs training on how to be a gentleman in the presence of a child who was the target of his hot air. Change the rule, coach your staff.

The hall is acoustically spectacular. The organ backdrop is great and the seats are comfortable. Definitely go listen to a concert or speaker here. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the lack of direction as you enter it is extremely easy to get lost looking for the entrance to the hall.

Review №22

I love how live the music is. But preforming for the first time in there was scary at first because you either hear everyone else, or just you. But I really enjoy it. And a week before preforming in state, I went and saw Elijah preformed by the Salt Lake Coral Artists, and the sound was amazing! I just wish that there was more seats. Because for the first half of the performance, I was sitting on the ground.

Very nice place. My band performed here during middle school and it felt WAY too fancy for a middle school festival. Beautiful concert hall with almost more beautiful warm-up areas. I feel honored to have been hosted here.

At the main building, there are a few concert and chamber music halls, and all of the concert halls are beautiful and the performances are good as well.

Got to see Randal Munroe of xkcd Fame. Beautiful location, not to big without feeling cramped. Parking is tricky because its off presidents circle. Leave a little earlier for best results.

This is a very fine venue for musical concerts and events. On university campus, it is excellent for its small(er) size. Acoustics are top notch. The only downside is parking, which is bad. Even then, it is worth the effort.

This is a beautiful concert Hall at the University of Utah. It has a large beautiful organ in the front and wonderful acoustics. It is a smaller hall (500-ish audience seats) so the performances are intimate and intense. I sing in a large choir and we have performed and recorded there several times. My ONLY complaint is that parking can be confusing (but is cheap and available to arrange for online through the University of Utah).

Amazing acoustics. Hidden doors in the wood paneling. Theater seating for the audience. Perfect for making recordings. Lots of opera seating in the surrounding balcony. Well lit.

I love this place it is very elegant and clean place. We parked at the stadium and I was worried about having to pay for it but the event that was hosted at this place included it. And a shuttle bus took us to the place. It was a great experience overall and we enjoyed one of the concerts of the music chamber society.

The organ is cool. The acoustics very good. But you have traverse a maze to use the bathroom, there are major people-choke-points, and i hate that both of my times there the venue sold more tickets than seats. Arrive early unless you like to stand.

It was really beautiful. I preformed there in the state concert band festival and u know how echoy the sound is. The seats were really soft, and the organ was the coolest part;that must have costed $100,000+. I really enjoyed it there.
