Where to Hold a Music Recital
2001
I'm a piano teacher with 25+ students and need a good room for our December 17, recital.
I usually rent the big room at the YWCA on Bancroft Way but they will be closed on that weekend.
I'm looking for a pretty room, where my students, their families and I feel comfortable, with a reasonable
grand piano. There will be ~70 people.
A church sanctuary wouldn't work.
I once was told about a room on Euclid Ave which can be rented out to neighbors (?) but I couldn't
find out any details about that.
Any recommendations?

I think that both the Brazil Room in Tilden Park and the Bancroft Hotel's
function room have pianos. I'm not sure if either is a grand. Maybe the UC
Berkeley music dept. has a room?

The place on Euclid is undoubtedly the Maybeck Recital Hall,
at Euclid and Hawthorne. Lovely place. Another possibility
might be the Hillside Club on Cedar...can't recall if they
have a piano. You might take a peek in the "Here Comes a
Guide" book (find it in the library) which lists places to
have events, large and small. Good luck!

How about the First Unitarian Church of Berkeley, in Kensington? As I
recall, they have a large "fellowship" room with a piano in it, that might
meet your needs. I don't have the phone number off hand, but I know you can
find it in the phone book.

You might try the Berkeley Piano Club on Haste Street or The Crowden School. All my
recitals were at the Piano Club when I was growing up. St. John's Church is a lovely place
for a recital. It is not at all like most churches. My son did a voice recital there. There is a
grand piano and the acoustics are very good. All the church related items are removed for
musical events, so that the front like a stage with a piano on it. It has been used for BHS's
Concert Chorale concerts, Young People's Symphony Orchestra concerts, chamber concerts, etc.
