Known for its superb sound, the chapel is also used for choral and orchestral performances. Over the years, the Capital Region Classical series has welcomed audiences from across the region to the chapel for performances by internationally renowned musicians such as Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Mitsuko Uchida, the Emerson String Quartet and others.
Factoids: In 1982, “hard rock” concerts were banned from Memorial Chapel due to ongoing concerns about physical damage and disorder. (In fall 1974, one performer drove his motorcycle down the center aisle of the chapel.)
