Brandeis University - Slosberg Music Center

Slosberg Music Center is a specialist concert and recital venue at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Its principal event space is a 215-seat recital hall designed for high-quality musical performances, intimate cultural programmes, lectures and other audience-focused occasions.

The hall offers strong acoustic qualities, professional surround sound and video capabilities, two Steinway concert grand pianos and a Noack tracker organ. These facilities make it particularly suitable for classical concerts, chamber music, solo recitals, contemporary music, student showcases, educational performances and recorded or supported live presentations. The wider music centre also includes specialist classrooms, practice rooms, audio-equipped teaching spaces and the Brandeis Electro-Acoustic Music Studio, creating a well-equipped environment for music-led events and rehearsals.

Slosberg Music Center is home to the Brandeis Department of Music and the Brandeis Concert Series, which presents a varied programme of professional, student and visiting-artist performances throughout the year. The venue can also consider requests from external organisations and ensembles, subject to availability and the department’s scheduling priorities. External hirers should contact the venue team to discuss potential use, technical requirements and applicable conditions.

For event organisers, the venue provides an auditorium with a clear performance focus, accessible entrance and parking arrangements, on-site restroom facilities and support requirements for performances, including ushering and lighting technician provision. Food and drink are not permitted inside the recital hall, so organisers should plan hospitality in another suitable campus location. Slosberg Music Center is best suited to organisers seeking a polished, acoustically strong setting for concerts, recitals, cultural events, talks and other presentation-led programmes.
