National Music Museum
Janet L. Wanzek Performance Hall
A part of the new Lillibridge Wing at the National Music Museum, the Janet Lucille Wanzek Performance Hall is an intimate, modern venue for music, lectures, meetings, and more. Regularly filled with the sounds of the NMM Live! concert series, the stage of Wanzek Hall is home to one of our flagship instruments - a Mason & Hamlin Model CC grand piano, built in 1901, a stunning 9'4" instrument that offers performers a unique alternative to Steinway, Yamaha, and other more common pianos.
