Sheslow Auditorium

This beautiful 775 seat facility is used for concerts, recitals, guest speakers and campus programs. When Sheslow Auditorium was renovated in 1992, 35 tons of plaster were applied to the ceiling by hand, and its striking stained glass windows restored to their original luminosity.

It would be nice if the cameraman could zoom in on the orchestra and not show the audience. It would also be very helpful if there was a program posted so we can see the names of the pieces. Great job students!

It was FANTASTIC. However, the sound was terrible. You could barely hear the piano and Brendan and I had all my devices at the highest volume possible.
The singer and pianist were awesome.

What fun, thanks for doing what you could to make viewing from home enjoyable. Thanks for introducing us to new music, new composers and sending us down rabbit holes for new music. Would like the introductions to be better amplified and easier access to the program, only noticed the link after searching for it on the university site. Thanks, Kevin

This concert demonstrated Prof Roth's considerable talents with an interesting variety of German and French classics. His warm reception was richly deserved. I only regret that the crowd was not larger.

This was the best live choral performance I have ever been to. I can't wait to sing here next year!

It was an excellent recital with a lot of variation that showed Evelyn's strengths and growth. I can't wait for her next one.
