Classical music is a unique cultural treasure: a source of enlightenment and connection for humanity. But many people across the world are without access to classical music. The internet has sparked new ways to enrich the lives of people everywhere with great music and Guarneri Hall NFP exists to harness those opportunities.

Guarneri Hall NFP (GH) was founded to advance classical music both in person, and worldwide through the internet. GH advocates for classical music with dynamic live chamber music performances, compelling audio/video recordings of established and rising artists, commissions of new works, and innovative music education initiatives.

GH supports emerging and established performers, composers, and music educators with instrument loans, material and technical assistance and career advocacy. GH distributes unique content free of charge, introducing classical music to new audiences in Chicago and around the globe. GH serves as an experimental laboratory, searching for new ways to cultivate and sustain music lovers.

Guarneri Hall NFP operates Guarneri Hall in Chicago, an intimate, custom-built, 60-seat performance and production facility designed by Chicago firm Threshold Acoustics.

What’s in a name?

Today, violins by a great innovator of the violin, Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri (1698-1744) are as sought after as those of the great Antonio Stradivari. Guarneri Hall is named in honor of this great craftsman, creator of some of the most miraculous musical instruments of all time.
