Project Proposal Application

Introduction

Guarneri Hall is a uniquely intimate, custom-built 60-seat venue in the heart of downtown Chicago, an optimal space for acoustic music designed by Threshold Acoustics. We produce live performances, streamed events, and original films; offer support to artists; and embrace community engagement.

Guarneri Hall Presents is a series of live, immersive, interactive events that capitalize on the unique intimacy and superior acoustic properties of Guarneri Hall. 

We seek artists who offer inventive programs and unique live-music experiences, leveraging the intimacy of our space to create meaningful connections with audiences.

Artists who wish to apply to be a part of the Guarneri Hall Presents season should first review the organization’s Mission and Vision and Statement of Values, found on this page, to determine if your project is a good fit.

To be considered, please fill out the application on this page. You will not be able to save a form in progress, so before you begin, please have the following information ready:
  • Contact information for you (or your ensemble, if applicable)
  •  A title, abstract, and narrative for your proposed program/project along with a rationale for its relevance to the Guarneri Hall mission
  • Any needs such as equipment, staff, etc.
  • Proposed budget
  • Any suggestions for partner organizations or for joint promotion
N.B. Proposals of standard recital formats are unlikely to be accepted. The Board seeks events that tell a story and redefine the classical music experience. See examples of Guarneri Hall Presents events.

Looking to be a guest presenter in the hall, rather than part of Guarneri Hall Presents? If so, instead of submitting this form, please describe your project in our contact form.

Simply looking to rent the hall? if so, use the facilities rental form instead.
