Braun Music Center

The Braun Music Center at Stanford University, opened in 1984, serves as the heart of music education on campus. Funded largely by the Carl F. Braun Trust in memory of Carl Braun, a Stanford alumnus, the center features rehearsal studios, classrooms, and the intimate Campbell Recital Hall. Its striking architecture includes a long open-air arcade that connects residential areas and social hubs, making it a vital link on campus. The center also houses the Stanford Music Library, which contains rare manuscripts and recordings, enhancing its appeal to both tourists and researchers interested in music history and education.
