Craig Recital Hall
Craig Recital Hall is first and foremost a teaching, performance, practice, and rehearsal space for approved Music Department activities, and such activities have priority over all other uses of the facility. Any other use requires permission from the Music Department chair and confirmation of availability through the Music Office coordinator. This includes non-music classes, events, and off-campus groups. Craig Recital Hall is not normally used for student practice, although students preparing for performances may occasionally use the facility with permission. A key for the piano lock may be checked out from the Music Office coordinator with faculty approval and limited to piano majors/minors or faculty-supervised performance preparation.
Wynne Chapel
The 750-seat Wynne Chapel is reserved for approved departmental performances. Students may be approved to present recitals in the hall, but this must be cleared with your applied teacher and the Music Office. The concert Steinway in Wynne Chapel is not to be used for student practice other than for recital preparation. The Small Chapel also contains a grand piano and can be used for recitals. Wynne Chapel is heavily scheduled, often a year in advance, and students wishing to perform recitals in the chapel should make these arrangements early.
Kidd-Key Auditorium
Kidd-Key Auditorium, located near downtown Sherman, TX, is the home of the Sherman Symphony Orchestra. Extensive restoration and renovation of this beautiful concert hall was undertaken by Austin College and the City of Sherman and has returned the historical significance of the building remaking it into an exceptional venue for major performances. Completed in 1938 and seating more than 1300, the Art Deco hall has proven to possess exceptional acoustics.
