Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts

It houses the 756-seat Helen Bader Concert Hall, large rehearsal spaces, meeting facilities, music offices, and dance studios for the UWM Peck School of the Arts.

The Zelazo Center was acquired by UWM in October 2000 from Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun, who had used the structure as a synagogue since 1922.

Many architectural elements from the building's years as a synagogue still exist, including many prominent Star of David symbols and elaborate stained glass work.

The art windows of the Helen Bader Concert Hall were designed by Milwaukee Rabbi Joseph L. Baron who served the community from 1926 to 1960.

It is the primary teaching studio space for the trombone, euphonium, tuba, harp, string bass, percussion, and guitar programs at UWM.
