Our design team was on hand September 22 to celebrate the grand opening of the Nazareth College Jane and Laurence Glazer Music Performance Center. The gala event included celebrity and student music performances, dancing, and the ceremonial dedication of the new building.
The new 550-seat Performance Center includes a performance platform suitable for a full orchestra and choir. The hall’s acoustic characteristics can be finely tuned to suit a variety of music and ensemble types through acoustical drapes and operable wall panels. Supporting back-of-house spaces include state-of-the-art acoustically isolated practice rooms and an uncasing/rehearsal room.
The revolutionary performance center has energized the campus, not just for its beauty and size, but for its acoustic ability, even earning it the nickname ‘Cathedral of Sound’ from Mario Martinez, Music Department Chair.
