Aaron Davis Hall

Aaron Davis Hall was named after the inspirational figure Aaron Davis. Aaron Davis Hall provides facilities for the Leonard Davis Center for the Performing Arts, and ranks among the best-equipped of such complexes on any college campus. The $7 million building houses a 750-seat proscenium theater, a 175-seat experimental theater and a 75-seat rehearsal studio-workshop. Davis Hall hosts an ambitious, year-round calendar of both student and professional performances, most of which are open to the public. The Hall is the only cultural facility of its kind between Lincoln Center and uptown Manhattan and is used by groups like the Emerson String Quartet, the Dance Theater of Harlem, Opera Ebony and the New York City Opera National Company.
