C. Michael Paul Hall, The Juilliard School

C. Michael Paul Hall is a 275-seat recital and performance venue at The Juilliard School, in the Lincoln Center neighbourhood of Manhattan. Known as Paul Hall, it provides an intimate setting for live music and other performance-led gatherings, with seating arranged for an audience to focus on the stage. The hall is at lobby level within the school’s West 65th Street building.

Juilliard describes Paul Hall as one of its principal performance spaces. Its programme includes student and faculty recitals, chamber music concerts, master classes and other school events. The room also houses a Holtkamp organ and has microphones and recording equipment for professional-quality audio capture, making it suitable for performances where clear sound and a close connection between performers and audience matter.

The Juilliard School offers rental opportunities for external organisers, including access to its concert and recital venues for live performances and special events. Paul Hall may therefore suit organisers seeking a dedicated music venue for a recital, chamber concert, lecture with a performance element or similar event. All rental requests are subject to availability and approval, so organisers should enquire with the school about dates, arrangements and the precise facilities available for their event.

Situated at 155 West 65th Street, the hall is close to public transport and other Lincoln Center arts venues. Its established performance setting and modest audience capacity make it a considered option for events that benefit from an auditorium atmosphere without the scale of a large theatre.
