Miller Theatre

Miller Theatre is a performance venue located on Columbia University's Manhattan campus that hosts a wide range of music programs throughout the year. The space features a traditional stage design with modern technical capabilities for classical, jazz, and experimental music presentations.

The theatre was established in 1919 and has served continuously as a primary performance space within the university's arts programs. Over the decades it became an integral part of Manhattan's academic music scene.

The theatre hosts an annual series celebrating contemporary composers through performances paired with direct conversations and presentations by the artists themselves. Visitors experience firsthand how modern musicians think about their own work.

The venue sits conveniently on Columbia University's campus in Midtown Manhattan and is accessible by multiple subway lines and bus routes. The interior accommodates flexible seating arrangements and modern sound and lighting systems suitable for various performance styles.

The theatre maintains specialized concert series dedicated to early music performed on period instruments alongside premieres of new compositions. This dual focus on both historical interpretation and contemporary creation sets its programming apart from most academic venues.
