Maybeck Recital Hall 2007 - Liszt & Chopin Rivals & Friends with
Verna Lim, Pianist & Duo ViVo

Destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1923 in 1923 by the acclaimed architect Bernard Maybeck, the Maybeck House consists of Spanish tile and stucco blended with Gothic detail. An idiosyncratic mix of Mediterranean and Gothic elements enhanced by vivid colors, the recital hall with attached home is linked by a bridge and is a California landmark. The recital hall combines Gothic ornament with classical lines and adds to the diverse forms that Maybeck had built in earlier homes. On a corner lot, difficult to build on because of its limited size and steep slope, Maybeck joined the recital hall to a two-storied living unit under a cross-gable roof. An enticing walled walk from the principal street curves its way around the corner of the building to arrive at the entrance vestibule of the living unit a half-story below the studio level. The gabled end of the concert room dominates the composition--its beamed overhangs are cut back to the wall surface near the ridge point, accenting a large window. A lancet window, a deck railed with cusped roundels, and half-timbering reinforce the Gothic imagery and suggest verticality, but low-pitched roofs and horizontal lines balance the composition. The plan is functionally arranged to take advantage of the split levels by using the dining and bedroom spaces of the living unit for overflow audience seating during public recitals. The recital hall is extremely imitate and only seats up to 40 people at a time. The recital hall has been used by local artist and world renown jazz and classical pianist as well as ensembles. Maybeck also doubles as a state of art recording studio to record classical and jazz albums.
