Vanderbilt University - Blair School of Music

The Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University serves as the school's focal point for the study and appreciation of music, both as a means of self-expression and as a performance art for the entertainment of others. The facilities include two performance venues, the Steve and Judy Turner Recital Hall and the Martha Rivers Ingram Center for the Performing Arts. Completed in 2001, Ingram Hall is a 618-seat performance hall with full staging capability including orchestra pit, opera scene shop, loading dock, dressing rooms and Green room. Turner Recital Hall provides an intimate space and acoustically superior setting for solo and chamber music performances. As Blair School of Music's principal performance hall for over twenty years, this 286-seat room is a superb setting for student and faculty recitals, as well as lectures and guest performers. These venues are available for rental to not-for-profit organizations and events. For space rental information, contact the Blair office(615) 322-7651.
