Elective Recitals | Ithaca College

All elective recitals which are "presented by" Ithaca College and thus receive similar staffing to degree-required recitals take place in Nabenhauer. In the spring, they are available only prior to spring break, except with special permission.
You may hold an elective recital in another space in the Whalen Center by booking the room with Erik Kibelsbeck, but this is not part of the lottery process.
To hold an elective recital outside the school (including the chapel), please contact Campus Center and Event Services.
Elective recitals in Nabenhauer are listed on the concert calendar and get stage crew and an usher, but not a recording unless you make arrangements to have it recorded. Those elective recitals not "presented by" Ithaca College will not receive staffing, listing, recording, programs, etc.

To schedule an elective recital in Nabenhauer, a student first participates in the lottery which randomly determines the order in which the recitals are scheduled.
Visit the Recital Sign-up page to complete the process of entering the lottery.
Once your recital is scheduled, it cannot be rescheduled in the same semester except in cases of illness or similar emergency.

After the degree-required recitals are scheduled, those interested in an elective recital will receive an email with:

The time of your appointment at which we will actually schedule the recital. This will be on a Saturday in the morning and/or very early afternoon.
The list of date and time options for your recital, along with further instructions.
