Folk Concerts And Lessons In A Wood-Lined Lincoln Square Hall
A Lincoln Square folk-music school runs concerts in a wood-lined hall alongside lessons and an on-site instrument shop.
🪕 Inside the hall
The Old Town School of Folk Music runs its concerts inside the Gary and Laura Maurer Concert Hall, a wood-lined room on North Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Square where touring folk, roots, and world acts play to a seated crowd.
The building doubles as a working music school, with hands-on lessons, group practice sessions, and lyric-writing workshops running alongside the performance calendar, plus an on-site instrument shop near the lobby. Regulars praise the hall for its clear, natural sound and a volunteer staff that knows the room.
Rated 4.9 by concertgoers, it anchors a Lincoln Square stretch of restaurants and bars that fills before shows, and the intimate balcony keeps every seat close to the stage.
