Hailed by Frank Bruni in The New York Times as a “stunning music hall with sumptuous acoustics” and by Tim Smith in The Baltimore Sun as “architecturally and acoustically inviting,” the beautiful Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall seats 375 people and is the site of both professional and student performances produced by UMBC Department of Music, as well as distinguished lectures and other events. Linehan Concert Hall is equipped with a 9-foot Steinway grand concert piano and cutting edge recording and performance technologies.

Linehan Concert Hall is located in UMBC’s new Performing Arts and Humanities Building, and is located about 15 minutes from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and about 25 minutes from the Washington Beltway (I-495).

You are welcome to park in Lot 8 for all evening and weekend events free of charge.

The Concert Hall lobby is located on the side of the building closest to the traffic light. Enter at the doorway shown above, underneath the Dance Cube that juts out from the building. The Concert Hall’s box office is located in the lobby area.

The Peale is Baltimore’s Community Museum, housed in the oldest museum building in the United States.

More than two hundred years after the museum was established in 1814, The Peale is once again going strong. We’re building an inclusive archive of Baltimore stories and offering a showcase for the city’s storytellers that honors their importance and historical value.

The Peale’s mission is to provide local creators and storytellers with the space and support they need to realize a complete and accessible cultural legacy for the city of Baltimore.

The Peale is located at 225 Holliday Street, in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, between Zion Church and the Real News Network, and across the street from the Abel Wolman Municipal Building.
