What to expect
Planning a visit to Mary B. Galvin Recital Hall
Choose Galvin for a recital or chamber program inside Northwestern's Ryan Center rather than Pick-Staiger or the Ryan Opera Theater. Confirm the Galvin room name, admission or seating format, program, run time, accessibility arrangements, and ticket terms on the event page, then check current campus parking, transit, ticket-office, and building-entry guidance before setting out.
