Elebash Recital Hall, The Graduate Center

Performance spaces on campus often double as classrooms. Elebash Recital Hall fits that mold—lectures, concerts, and academic panels share the stage at The Graduate Center. The venue sits where Midtown’s office towers give way to the quieter stretch of Fifth Avenue near the New York Public Library’s main branch.

You’ll find it at 365 5th Ave New York, NY 10016, between 34th and 35th Streets. The building’s limestone facade blends with the neighborhood’s institutional character; inside, the hall hosts everything from dissertation defenses to chamber music recitals. Scheduling is managed through the center’s events office, though public programming is typically listed online.

Directions can be pulled from the map—the nearest subway stops are 34 St-Herald Sq and B, D, F, M at 34 St-Bryant Pk. For event details, call the box office at 212-817-7100. The hall’s calendar reflects the school’s scholarly rhythm, with fewer performances during summer and intersession breaks.
