David Friend Recital Hall

The David Friend Recital Hall is located on the ground floor of the Genko Uchida Building at 921 Boylston Street. The hall is a semicircular performance space with a horseshoe-shaped balcony designed by architect Shizuo Harada. According to building architect Myron Miller, Harada referred to the recital hall as "the typhoon room: a metaphor for Berklee's success in spinning out talented musicians around the whole world."

The David Friend Recital Hall seats approximately 100 audience members, depending on the room setup. Its versatility makes it a perfect venue for faculty concerts, student recitals, visiting artist clinics, and master classes, as well as banquets, meetings, and symposiums.
