The Music Department has several music venues and rehearsal spaces. While the Music Dept. maintains priority, some spaces may be reserved for use by non-departmental groups with permission. Please find contacts below for your specific needs and purposes to confirm the availability of a space.
Music Department Events
To reserve a space for a Music Department performance such as a concert, recital, or master class, please contact Alexi Carlson.
To reserve Shackel Hall for a Music Department activity please contact Alexi Carlson.
If you need a classroom or rehearsal space that is not Kracum Hall or Shackel Hall, please contact Kris Parker.
Music Student Recitals
Music students who would like to perform a department supported recital must be approved by a Music Department instructor or faculty member. Student recitals are generally on Saturdays and Sundays in May from 1pm-6pm, with more than one recital per day or booked as a shared recital.
If you are interested in performing a recital, please talk with your instructor and find more information on how to request a recital.
Events Sponsored by Other Departments, Campus Offices and Organizations
To discuss reserving Kracum Performance Hall, Shackel Rehearsal Hall, or Applebaum Recital Hall for an event, please contact Steve Richardson and scheduling@carleton.edu.
Music Events by CSA Student Organization
If you are a CSA-registered Student Organization musical group who wants to put on an event in one of the Music Department’s performance spaces, please submit a request here: CSA Student Group Events. The venue manager will review your request and be in touch about space and staff availability.
Please note that only Kracum Hall and Applebaum Hall are available as event spaces and are generally only open for events Thursday – Sunday. Shackel Hall and Puzak Studio are generally not availble as event spaces.
Event requests must be made at least four weeks before the event date. Groups are encouraged to reach out at the beginning of a term or sooner to request an event in Kracum or Applebaum Hall. Once a space is tentatively reserved for your event, please submit an Event Registration Form with SAO to have your event approved.
If your event is approved by SAO, the venue manager will reach out to you to discuss your event in further detail.
To reserve a space for a CSA-registered Student Organization musical group rehearsal, please contact Alexi Carlson or Kris Parker. Puzak Studio and classrooms WCC230 and WCC231 are typically the available space for CSA music group rehearsals.
