Hammerschmidt Chapel is on the west side of the Elmhurst College campus. Elmhurst College's address is 190 Prospect, but the chapel is closer to the intersection of Alexander Boulevard and Myrtle. Click here to go to our directions page and a campus map.
Our box office in the entryway of Hammerschmidt Chapel opens at 2:00 p.m. Ushers start seating patrons at 2:30. Please allow time to get from the parking lot on Alexander to the chapel on our comfy shuttle bus!
Buy online, at the door (cash, check or charge), or from an ECU singer (if you’re lucky enough to know one). As an all-volunteer organization, we do not have the ability to handle mail or phone orders.
We’ll keep your online tickets at the Will Call table, using the last name that was on your order. If you like, you can bring along the email receipt.
All seating is general admission.
Accessible parking near the chapel is limited; however, there's more parking in the large lot on Alexander Boulevard with shuttle bus service, and one of our two shuttle buses is accessible. Chapel main level seating is accessible. Best spots for wheelchairs are in the very front of the main level seating, on the extreme right or left. Visibility from those locations is a bit limited, but the music sounds great.
The chapel’s accessible entrance ramp is along the north side of the building. It descends to the lower level, which is also the level for accessible restrooms. Once indoors, an elevator goes up to the front of the audience main floor.
Patrons who need to use the accessible entrance and elevator may proceed directly to their chosen seats (even before 2:30). A companion or someone sitting nearby may present your ticket to an usher.
If you need an accommodation, please let us know. Contact Tickets at our contact page.
No ID is needed.
Kids 6 and under are free. Some kids under 7 find it tiring to sit quietly for a 2 hour concert. We want kids to enjoy going to concerts. If your child has the patience for us, then we are glad to have them join us.
Whatever you like. ECU dresses up so you don’t have to. With its high ceilings, the chapel can be cool during the cold weather months.
The Elmhurst area has many great restaurants. Some of them sponsor our season and are mentioned in our printed program.
