Delaware Valley Arts Alliance

Gloria Krause Recital Hall is an intimate performance and event space operated by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in Narrowsburg, New York. Located inside the historic Elaine Giguere Arts Center, the hall provides a distinctive setting for concerts, recitals, readings, talks, presentations, private performances and selected corporate or community gatherings.

The venue is particularly suited to organisers seeking a more personal alternative to a large theatre or conference centre. Its warm, characterful atmosphere works well for chamber music, classical performances, jazz, singer-songwriter showcases, spoken-word events, literary programmes, artist presentations and small cultural productions. A 1913 Mason & Hamlin grand piano forms a central feature of the room, making it especially appealing for pianists, vocalists and acoustic ensembles.

The hall can accommodate up to approximately 80 seated guests, depending on the chosen layout. Its compact scale encourages close interaction between performers and audiences, while the surrounding arts centre adds a creative, gallery-led setting for events. Organisers may also benefit from the venue’s location in the Upper Delaware Valley, with straightforward access from the wider Sullivan Catskills and nearby New York and Pennsylvania communities.

The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance also operates the nearby Tusten Theatre, providing an additional performance option for productions requiring a larger audience capacity and a more traditional stage environment. For event planners, Gloria Krause Recital Hall is a strong choice for intimate live entertainment, cultural programming, educational presentations, small receptions and distinctive private hire enquiries. Availability, rates and technical requirements should be confirmed directly with the venue team.
