Non Hall Recital Locations

For recitals in locations other than JSoM performance halls (anywhere other than Auer Hall, Ford-Crawford Hall, or Recital Hall), students are responsible for verifying the date/time/location availability and confirming with the location.

For scheduling in any JSoM classroom/rehearsal room or Willkie Auditorium, email the Scheduling Office at musched@iu.edu For locations outside of JSoM, work with the venue to reserve the space, and then follow the instructions below.

Students are responsible for any location fees when reserving non-JSoM locations. Recital recording is not available for non-JSoM locations. For DM/AD recitals occurring in a non-JSoM location, the student recitalist is responsible for recording the recital and delivering the recording to the Music Library. More information about DM /AD recital recordings can be found here.

All recitals, regardless of location, must be scheduled within the Scheduling Office via the Recital Scheduling & Program Creation Form (portal).
