  • The Conservatory offers a wide range of opportunities for students to perform—from on-campus recitals and concerts to national and international tours, festivals and competitions. 
    Our campus has exceptional performance spaces for concerts. Whether it's a rich, historic setting in Mees Hall, a summer concert by the Reflections Fountains, or the acoustically pristine Huntington Recital, these venues enhance the musicality, performance, and offer patrons a memorable experience.

    HUNTINGTON RECITAL HALL
    Huntington Hall is a 180-seat recital hall; and the Conservatory's primary performing hall, This is where most student, faculty and guest recitals are presented each year.

    MEES AUDITORIUM
    Mees Auditorium is one of Columbus' historic performance halls. The auditorium was constructed in 1926 and was fully renovated in 1992. In fall 2005 the Paul W. and Ella D. Hugus Pipe Organ was installed. The Mees Auditorium is Capital's largest performance and gathering space hosting the Christmas Festival, Prism, Big Band performances and student and faculty assemblies, such as Opening Convocation. The auditorium is named for Rev. Dr. Otto Mees who became president in 1912 and served that office for nearly 34 years.

    OUTDOOR
    Some prefer the sound of music mixed with warm air and sunshine. If lawn chairs and picnic blankets are your thing, Capital has several events which take advantage of the warm weather and beauty of our campus. Outdoor events are generally free and open to the public, so members of the community are encouraged to bring their picnic baskets and non-alcoholic beverage coolers to the multiple concerts at Reflections Fountain in the center of Capital's campus.
