Holtschneider Performance Center

Step inside the Holtschneider Performance Center, a magnificent building that celebrates the power of music. It’s a place where aspiring musicians can hone their craft and music lovers can experience the magic of live performances. This impressive landmark, built in 2018, is a testament to DePaul University’s commitment to the arts. The Holtschneider Performance Center stands tall on the Lincoln Park Campus, serving as the eastern gateway of the university. It boasts three floors and 185,000 square feet of space meticulously designed for performances, rehearsals, and classrooms. But there’s more; did you know that the building was built on the site of the former McGaw Hall? The Holtschneider Performance Center is the first phase of a new music complex for the school, adding its own modern touch to the skyline while honoring its illustrious past. Imagine the feeling of anticipation building as you enter the 505-seat Mary Patricia Gannon Concert Hall. The acoustics are so crisp and clear, it’s almost as if the music is dancing in the air. Or maybe you’d prefer the intimate setting of the 75-seat Mary A. Dempsey and Philip H. Corboy Jazz Hall, where you can feel the energy of the music on your skin. It’s truly a place where great music comes to life. The Holtschneider Performance Center is much more than just a building; it’s a haven for music enthusiasts, a hub for student musicians, and a testament to the enduring power of the arts.
