Built in 1919 and renovated in 1993, the 1,148-seat Lawrence Memorial Chapel is used for public events such as the Lawrence Artist and Jazz series, ensemble concerts, public meetings, and the university convocation series. In recent years, the chapel has been host to such performing artists as the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields chamber ensemble; Emmanual Ax, piano; Yo-Yo Ma, cello; Bobby McFerrin, jazz vocalist; and Benny Golson, jazz saxophone. The chapel features a magnificent 41-stop mechanical-action organ built by John Brombaugh of Eugene, Oregon.
