Lillian H. Duncan Recital Hall, Rice University

Lillian H. Duncan Recital Hall, located inside Alice Pratt Brown Hall, is the busiest and most sought-after venue at The Shepherd School of Music. Shepherd School students perform approximately 250 free recitals here each academic year. Duncan Recital Hall is a small performance hall designed for recitals and smaller chamber ensemble performances. Its classical proportions, inspired by Stude Concert Hall but on a smaller scale, give it excellent acoustics for solo recitals and chamber music concerts. Before the opening of Alice Pratt Brown Hall in 1991, most student recitals were held on campus at the T.W. Bonner Nuclear Laboratories Building.
