Jones Auditorium at Meredith College

Jones Auditorium is a performance hall at Meredith College on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, used for concerts, lectures, panels and community events. Meredith is a nationally ranked women’s college, and much of what happens in the hall is open to people from outside the campus.

A good share of the calendar is student and faculty work. The Meredith Philharmonic plays a fall concert every year, and the student-led Jazz and Tap Company puts on a program of contemporary, jazz and tap pieces. Visiting speakers and author talks fill in the rest.
