A beautiful concert hall and auditorium with crisp and clear sound. The lighting is excellent. My only wish was that in the renovation they included a more extensive budget for more ornate decoration, especially on the wood panelings.

Music hall that is just wonderful after being renovated located on Duke's east campus. Sound and acoustics are incredible. Beautiful domed building and space. Seats are smallish but comfortable enough. Relatively small making for intimatel experience but sizable enough that it feels like real music hall.

This is really a fantastic place to see a live performance. We're so very lucky that Duke University provides us so many free opportunities to come here and be entertained. There is an elevator and access for handicapped persons in the balcony. Same goes for the restrooms downstairs. Be forewarned that the seats are made for people from a different age. If you are morbidly obese you will not be able to fit into the theater seats at Baldwin. No food or drinks.
