Nichols Concert Hall, opened in May, 2003, quickly established itself as one of Chicago’s premier venues for chamber music performances. Originally designed as a First Church of Christ, Scientist in 1912 by renowned Chicago architect Solon S. Beman, the building was sensitively restored as a state-of-the-art, 550 seat concert hall and music education center. The converted building received the Richard H. Driehaus Award for best adaptive use by the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois. Music Critics, audiences and performers have hailed the excellent acoustics and elegant vaulted beauty of Nichols Concert Hall.

Nichols Concert Hall is located in the heart of downtown Evanston on the northeast corner of Chicago Avenue and Grove Street. Metered and non-metered parking is available and several public garages are within a two-block radius. Numerous restaurants are within easy walking distance. Conveniently located near the Davis Street CTA and Metra stations, Nichols Concert Hall is disability accessible.
