On April 11th, 2016, I attended one of Alexander String Quartet’s performances at the Engelman Recital Hall. Although I was brought to the Recital Hall during my orientation, I could not remember how to get there. After wandering around countless of times around the Baruch Campus, I finally found my way to the Engelman Recital Hall. The quietness and stillness of the whole Hall really helped set the atmosphere of the performance. This was quiet different from the rambunctiousness of the floors above it, with students scurrying to their lectures, exchanging small and quick conversations to their peers on their way there. As I took a seat that’s not too close or far away from the stage, I took this time to look around, and obverse the interior of this hall. Baruch’s performing arts Recital Hall has been said to be one of the best acoustic hall, architecturally. I noticed how the walls were made up of separate consecutive walls lined up vertically like a domino blocks. The texture of these walls seemed rough, assuming that this was for the purpose of absorbing sound waves as they are projected from the stage. The performance itself as a result, was really good, acoustically. Nonetheless, it was great to experience an music performance at Baruch, and I am willing to attend to another performance at Baruch’s Engelman Recital Hall.
