The music department is a part of
the Mason Gross Performing Arts Center on the Douglass Campus.
The Marryott Music Building is the
department's main administrative building and features the Schare Recital Hall,
a 100-seat intimate recital venue.
The Mason Gross School's newest
facility, Robert E. Mortensen Hall, opened in fall 2013 and contains the
Richard H. Shindell Choral Hall, a state-of-the-art recording studio, the
Presser Foundation Practice Suite, the Bauer Music Room, the Kevin Goetz Studio
for Theater and Dance, and an atrium with a café where students can congregate
and grab a bite to eat.
Music's primary performance venue
is Nicholas Music Center, a beautiful 740-seat concert hall. Performances also
take place at Voorhees Chapel on the Douglass Campus and in Kirkpatrick Chapel
on the College Avenue Campus.
The Blanche and Irving Laurie
Music Collection, housed adjacent to the department in the Mabel Smith Douglass
Library, contains a major collection of books, scores, recordings, and other
resources for the scholar and the performing musician. The Mabel Smith Douglass
Library is also home to the Performing Arts Seminar Room, a state-of-the-art space
for graduate and undergraduate classes, and the Sharon A. Fordham Computer Lab,
which serves as the department's computer lab.
All
of the music department's facilities contain classrooms, performance and
rehearsal spaces, studios, faculty offices, and practice rooms.
