Phillips Recital Hall

Phillips Recital Hall is an intimate performance venue located within the Haas Fine Arts Center at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. With seating for approximately 200 guests, the hall is especially suited to solo recitals, chamber music, faculty performances, student showcases, guest artist appearances and other focused live presentations.

The venue forms part of the university’s wider music and theatre facilities, creating a professional setting for organisers seeking a dedicated auditorium in Eau Claire. Its scale makes it a strong choice for events where sound, audience connection and artistic presentation are more important than large capacity. The hall can work well for classical concerts, chamber ensembles, vocal performances, cultural programmes, educational presentations and community arts events.

Event arrangements on the Eau Claire campus are supported by the university’s Event Services team. Organisers can receive assistance with venue selection, room layouts, audio-visual support, catering, beverages and suitable event décor, depending on the nature of the booking. This provides a practical route for organisations planning performances, talks, receptions, conferences or other gatherings that require a professionally managed university setting.

Phillips Recital Hall also benefits from the active artistic environment of the Music and Theatre Arts Department. Regular programming includes student, faculty and guest performances, while selected events are also made available through livestreaming. The hall’s location at 121 Water Street places it within the university campus in central Eau Claire, offering an established cultural venue for organisers looking for a compact concert or recital space with institutional support and a strong connection to the performing arts.
