Nordica Auditorium

Located on the second floor of UMF’s historic Merrill Hall, Nordica Auditorium is the center of musical life at UMF. The 400-seat concert hall -- with its ornate oak woodwork, brass chandeliers, and superb acoustics -- is equipped with a 14-rank pipe organ and a 9-foot Falcone concert grand piano, one of the finest instruments in Maine. Named after world famous 19th century opera singer Lillian Nordica (a native of nearby Kingfield, Maine) Nordica Auditorium hosts a wide variety of concerts throughout the year, including performances by the UMF Community Chorus, the UMF Community Orchestra, and others. Nordica Auditorium is also the place where the Arts Institute of Western Maine and other community-based arts organizations host musical performances of every kind, from Celtic to ragtime, Delta blues to jazz — even a performance on the Australian Didgeridoo!
