This was the first time I had been in another performance hall within this venue. Im accustomed to the big concert hall here at Benaroya. This one was cozy and allowed for more interaction with the performers. And the Coats put on a fantastic show!

Well kept, saw Midge Ure there. Pretty artwork, nice little snack area. Two active shooting situations were going knojn the adjacent few blocks; its Seattle.

Good space for short-form recitals. Theres no center aisle, so its important to pick the right side to enter. The layout provides great views. The restroom access leads to bottlenecks in the hallway and in front of the south door, which is unfortunate because there arent that many people there even when its at capacity. I love the chamber music festivals held here, though.

Very cozy recital hall for smaller and more intimate concerts. Ive come here for the A New World Final Fantasy concert and enjoyed it immensely both times! I think it tends to get warm fast, so consider short sleeves and a jacket thats easy to take off

Really cool, intimate venue. Ive gone several times to see musicians hosted by Seattle Classical Guitar Society. Easy parking in Benaroyas lot.

This performance space is located in the second floor of the NE corner of Benaroya Hall. There are rows of 30-35 seats with two doors and aisles down the side making the entrance to the middle tricky. The acoustics are quite incredible with a small stage and sound boarding behind with a directional sound ceiling. The space is intimate and perfect for seeing a musician or singer by themselves. The lobby is adorned with a Chihuly glass hanging piece and marble floor complete with two bathrooms down the hall on the same level. There is a dedicated elevator and stairs for access.Insider tip: go for the aisle seats around the G or H rows. You will get to the bathrooms first during intermission and you are not missing out on the view - all of the seats are close, except the last letters of the alphabet which begin to elevate above the rest of the crowd.

Because of the way the seating is set up and the size of the hall, there really isnt a bad seat here. The sound is also pretty good here too.

We take our family to Tiny Tots symphony and they do such an amazing job of keeping it at the kids level but also making it educational and teaching kids that the symphony is a formal occasion.
