As one of the last surviving theater venues on Broadway, the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall keeps the tradition of hosting prolific performances alive in this historic part of Portland.

The building that now houses what locals lovingly call “The Schnitz” was originally the Portland Public Theatre, built in 1928. The Italian Rococo Revival architecture was said to be the national showcase of renowned Chicago theatre architects Rapp & Rapp, and has been beautifully restored through a generous donation from Portlanders Arlene and Harold Schnitzer.

The Concert Hall plays host to a variety of presentations including classical, jazz, pop, rock, folk and gospel music, dance, theatre, travel films, conferences, and weddings.

The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall is located at 1037 SW Broadway (at Main St.), Portland, Oregon 97205.
