About this business
The Rockefeller Chapel was, indeed, named after the famous tycoon, and is the tallest building on the University of Chicago campus. With a Guastavino-tile ceiling, massive organ pipe and carved oak seating, the atmosphere is perfect for the pomp and circumstance of a graduation ceremony or a production of Handel's Messiah, which the University of Chicago Motet Choir has performed annually for more than 50 years. Weddings are also performed here.

Eventually they brought the house lights up which was much better, but the setu... read more
Beautiful space. Great acoustics. I've heard Verdi's requiem and Bach's St John's passion in this space, magnificent.
