The hall is specifically designed for music, and it is one of the premiere halls to play and record in on the East Coast due to its sophisticated acoustical design. With a maximum capacity of 576 seats, it is an ideal concert venue for such large ensembles as the University Orchestra, University Band and University Choir, and even the Richmond Symphony.
