recital hall

Concert performance space

A recital hall is a performance venue designed for solo musicians, small ensembles, or spoken-word presentations.

Smaller and more intimate than a concert hall, it typically seats a few hundred people and emphasizes acoustics suited to unamplified instruments and voices: The pianist performed her senior recital in the campus recital hall.
