UNF Fine Arts CenterAt the University of North Florida, students can audition for a wide variety of active performance groups ranging in genre, style, and size. Visiting artists continually call attention to the high level of musicianship they encounter within the student ensembles at UNF and in the beauty of the UNF campus. In 2001, the UNF Department of Music moved to its new home, a state-of-the-art performing arts complex.

UNF Fine Arts Center
The new UNF Fine Arts Center includes the Lazzara Performance Hall, which seats 1,300 guests for major events, an intimate 180-seat Recital Hall, four large rehearsal rooms, 44 individual practice rooms, and specially designed teaching studios and classrooms. In addition to providing supportive, cutting-edge resources for the practicing musician, the Center is often home to world-renowned visiting artists who might be seen just as easily in an impromptu 1-on-1 teaching situation as they could on the concert stage.

Recital HallLazzara Performance Hall
The 1,300-seat Lazzara Performance Hall, inside the UNF Fine Arts Center, is named for Gasper and Irene Lazzara, prominent civic leaders who donated $1.25 million to the performance hall’s funding. The fully-equipped theatre has hi-tech lighting, sound and acoustics—and is the second largest stage in the area. It is the perfect venue. The lobby is equipped with concession areas, contemporary furnishings, modern lighting accents, and an intriguing sculpture installation entitled Aurora.

Recital Hall
The 180-seat Recital Hall, inside the UNF Fine Arts Center, is adjacent to the Lazzara Performance Hall. The Recital Hall is just the right size and place for an intimate performance.
