Do312 - What to do in Chicago

Pick-Staiger Concert Hall is located on the shore of Lake Michigan on
Northwestern University’s Evanston campus. The concert hall, which
opened in October 1975, was made possible by generous gifts from Albert
Pick, Jr. and Charles G. Staiger, who dedicated the edifice to their
wives Corinne Frada Pick and Pauline Pick-Staiger.

Since its
inception the hall has functioned as both a classroom and performance
facility for Bienen School of Music performing ensembles, Music/Theater
productions, faculty recitals, festivals and professional guest artists.
A typical season of programming includes Orchestral, Wind Ensemble,
Choral, Opera, Chamber, Jazz, Contemporary, Brass, and Percussion
concerts as well as solo recitals, lectures, master classes, and other
related events.

Pick-Staiger’s diverse programming is designed
to showcase the developing talent of Bienen School of Music students; to
promote interaction among faculty members, students, and professional
artists; and to provide affordable cultural presentations to the
community at large.
