Below is a detailed list of some of the most common venues for Department of Music events. Before you join us for an event on campus, please consult our driving directions and parking information. For the most current list of Music Department events, please view our Events Calendar.
Concert Hall
The Concert Hall in the Music Arts Center is an acoustically superior 425-seat performance hall that houses the 3-manual, 24-rank Peragallo Opus 653 organ. The Music Department's large and small ensembles perform here as do artists from the Arts Quarter Music Series. The Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Williamsburg Choral Guild, and Virginia Arts Festival have also performed in this space. The Concert Hall is wheelchair accessible.
Comey Recital Hall
Comey Recital Hall is a functioning academic space as well as a performance hall. In it, our students rehearse, take private lessons, present their senior projects, and learn that most subtle of arts: audience interaction in performance. We host a variety of performances, including our Arts Quarter Music Series, in the Hall each semester as well as academic events. Comey Recital Hall is located in the Music Arts Center on the William & Mary campus. The Hall seats approximately 120 people and is wheelchair accessible.
