Fletcher Hall was a new freestanding recital hall to be built at Chautauqua. The intent was an acoustical space well-suited for small ensembles and specifically for string and brass departments. The space was to include retractable seating so it could also be used as a large rehearsal space. Extensive use of diffusive ceiling clouds wall elements, as well as absorptive elements, provide a space that is truly multi-purpose and is been well received by performers and students alike
