Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts’ Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts (commonly referred to as the “Zelazo Center”) is a state-of-the art venue for events ranging from the most intimate meeting to the grandest wedding. Originally used as a synagogue by Congregation Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun since 1922, the building boasts a grand entrance, two elaborate stained glass displays, as well as exquisite molding, arches, and decorative elements. The Zelazo Center includes the 758-seat Helen Bader Concert Hall, two conference facilities, six new warm-up/practice spaces and two dining and/or ballrooms.
