Michelsen Hall was named after Peter Michelsen. Long-time music department chair Donald Greene said about Michelsen, “Peter Michelsen was the music department.” Michelsen was appointed music director in 1931. He formed the first real band of the college that by 1935 grew to a widely known 60 member touring group. Born in Norway, Michelsen was a flutist and studied music with Edvard Grieg.<\/div>","slug":"uwsp-michelsen-hall","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1.jpg","id":17,"extension":"jpg","width":2495,"height":2560,"filesize":793687,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":292,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":14626,"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1-292x300.jpg"},"large":{"width":998,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":105414,"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1-998x1024.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5324,"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":788,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":63966,"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1-768x788.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1497,"height":1536,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":249318,"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1-1497x1536.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":1996,"height":2048,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":453001,"url":"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/05\/COFAC-Michelsen-Hall-scaled-1-1996x2048.jpg"}}},"address":"Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage Street","city":"Stevens Point","country":"United States","zip":"54481","website":"www.uwsp.edu\/music","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"UWSP | Michelsen Hall","description":"<p>Michelsen Hall has a seating capacity of 349 and is host to nearly 200 music events each year.
