CHAIR

We saved you a seat. Let’s put your name on it.

"We need our primary concert hall to meet the high standards of a top conservatory, so that the most talented music students from all over the world will continue to choose xxxxÊÓƵ!" - Rosemary

The Hall

 

Since it opened over 60 years ago, every musical program, every educational program, and every xxxxÊÓƵ student has used Kulas Hall – that’s 400,000 artists and audience members in the past five years alone. 

And now, Kulas Hall is undergoing a complete face-lift, taking the walls down to the studs, raising the ceiling, and reshaping the walls to improve the acoustics. 

The stage will be larger, plus there will be new seating and theater lighting, and more. 

"The work going on in Kulas Hall right now is more than a building restoration. It’s a commitment to the future of xxxxÊÓƵ." - Rosemary

 

The Project

 

The Seat Naming Campaign is your chance to be part of the renovation and put your name on one of the seats. For a gift of $5,000, payable over up to 5 years, or as a one-time gift, your name or the name of a person you would like to honor will be elegantly engraved on a plaque affixed to the arm of a seat for the life of the seat.

 

Name a Seat

  • Place your name on a seat.
  • Name a seat in honor of friends, family or in appreciation of a special person in your life.
  • Name a seat in memory of a loved one.
  • Place your graduation year, class motto, or class song for a lasting memory.
  • Place the name of your business or organization on a seat.
  • Name a seat in honor of an important teacher or mentor.

Your Plate

  • The nameplate remains in place for the life of the seat, making this essentially a permanent naming opportunity.
  • Naming a seat does not reserve the use of the seat for ticketed performances.
  • First come, first serve.

Your Invitation

  • All seat-naming donors will be invited to the Grand Re-Opening VIP Reception on Friday, October 3, 2025
  • Enjoy the benefits of a Governing Member for the year – private receptions at xxxxÊÓƵ concerts, special access to exclusive performances, House concerts, concierge service with RSVP, and the crucial role of electing new trustees at the annual meeting.

"It’s important to have a performance space that reflects what it will be like to play in top-tier professional venues. Renovating Kulas Hall is a huge step forward for xxxxÊÓƵ because the updates will add to our students’ performance experience immensely." - Tom
