About Chenery Auditorium

Chenery Auditorium is a historic multi‑use performing arts venue in Kalamazoo, housed within the Kalamazoo Public Schools’ Community Education Center.

With a seating capacity of approximately 1,550 after a 2007–2010 renovation, Chenery offers a comfortable, intimate setting for audiences in Kalamazoo.

Whether you’re catching the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, Gilmore Keyboard Festival performances, or a touring act, we’ve got you covered for a straightforward ticket-buy experience. Secure your seats, plan your trip, and enjoy a true community‑oriented venue with easy access and plenty of surrounding amenities.

Chenery Auditorium sits at 714 S Westnedge Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49007. The venue features multiple entrances and aisles, with balcony access by elevator, and public seating is organized to accommodate a wide range of performances. Free parking is available in a lot behind the building with additional street parking around the perimeter. The venue is served by Kalamazoo public transit (Kalamazoo Metro) and downtown routes, making bus access convenient for both locals and visitors.
