Guest Recitals

To reserve time for a guest recital, a completed Application for Conservatory Event form may be submitted to Concert Production or an e-mail request from the sponsoring faculty member will also be accepted, including the performer’s name and instrument, as well as the desired venue, date, and time.

Sponsoring faculty may start reserving recital dates beginning May 1 for the following academic year. Dates are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Due to the heavy concentration of student degree recitals and dress rehearsals, we will not schedule guest recitals during the six weeks following spring recess.

Recitals must be scheduled during academic weeks in predesignated slots, beginning at the following times:

Tuesdays through Fridays: 4:30 or 7:30 p.m.

Saturdays and Sundays: 12:30, 2:30, 4:30, or 7:30 p.m.

No recitals may be scheduled for Mondays.

Guest recitals may not be scheduled against large ensemble or Artist Recital Series concerts, or against any conservatory-sponsored event of the same instrument.

Venues available for guest recitals are Kulas and Stull Recital Halls, Warner Concert Hall, Fairchild Chapel, the Birenbaum, and the Cat in the Cream Coffeehouse. (Exception: Finney Chapel may be requested for recitals involving organ.)

If requesting a guest recital off campus, the sponsoring faculty will be responsible for contacting the appropriate off-campus building representative.

All guest recitals will be given 30 minutes for setup and a maximum of two hours performance time, including intermission, applause, stage set changes, and music.
