Located on the Queens College campus, the Kupferberg Center for the Performing Arts encompasses three venues: the acoustically perfect LeFrak Concert Hall, which can hold about 500 guests; the Colden Auditorium, which seats 2,143; and the 476-seat Irving and Susan Wallack Goldstein Theater.

Kupferberg presents a wide range of entertainment to about 350,000 patrons each year, including classical music, jazz, dance, seminars, conferences, and children’s events. Billy Joel, Janis Joplin, Cyndi Lauper, the New York Philharmonic, the Vienna Boys’ Choir, and Yo-Yo Ma are among the entertainers who have performed there recently.

Inside scoop: Kupferberg also operates the Godwin-Ternbach Museum, home to the borough’s most comprehensive art collection, and the Queens College Art Center, which is a separate gallery for contemporary installations.
