We are fortunate to have one of the best symphony orchestras in the country. Its home, Powell Hall, is 100 years old. While the acoustics are very good, the building is showing its age. It reopened this weekend after two years of restoration and redevelopment. A new building surrounds the old one on two sides, with a fresh lobby, rehearsal space, musicians locker rooms and a green room for visiting artists. The auditorium retains its cream and gold patina, with improved acoustics and much more comfortable seating. It’s a big deal to us.
