       About

      A symbol of both intellectual and artistic excellence, Royce Hall functions not only as a monument to Los Angeles rich cultural past, but also as a portal to the future. The extraordinary history of performing arts presentation in Royce Hall is rooted in the late 1930s, when George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Arnold Schoenberg and Jimmy Dorsey s Band all performed in Royce Hall. Since then, the list of illustrious artists who have graced Royce Halls stage reads like a Who s Who of performing arts in the 20th and 21st centuries, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic, Twyla Tharp, Frank Zappa, Mikhail Baryshnikov, The Philip Glass Ensemble and Meredith Monk to name a few. Royce Hall was built in 1929 as one of the first campus structures by architect David Allison. Royce Hall is named in honor of Josiah Royce, a California born philosopher, author, and influential educator from the 1880s until 1916.
