Harold Miossi Hall: A Premier Venue for Intimate Performances

The Harold Miossi Hall at the Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center is a 1,300-seat acoustically refined venue in San Luis Obispo, known for hosting concerts, theater, and lectures. Its fan-shaped design ensures excellent sightlines, but seat selection impacts your experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Sections A-C): Closest to the stage, ideal for immersive performances. Rows A-F offer unobstructed views, but avoid far-side seats for skewed angles.
• Terrace (Sections D-E): Elevated mid-level seating with balanced acoustics. Center seats (Rows AA-DD) provide optimal sightlines, while side seats may have minor rail obstructions.
• Balcony (Sections F-G): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view. Front rows (1-3) are best; rear rows feel distant for intimate acts.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows C-E) for sound balance.
• Theater: Terrace front (Rows AA-BB) for full-stage visibility.
• Lectures: Balcony front (Row 1) for clear sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private boxes on Terrace level offer exclusive space and service.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra rear and Terrace, with companion seats.

Pro Tips

For budget seats, choose Balcony Row 1 over rear Orchestra. Avoid extreme side seats in Terrace. Use the venue’s virtual tour to preview sightlines before booking.
