Project Description

The Green Music Center on the campus of Sonoma State University in Sonoma wine country offers artists, audiences, educators and students of all ages one of the world's finest venues in which to share their passion for music, arts and ideas. The centerpiece is the magnificent 1,400-seat concert hall, designed to replicate the outstanding acoustics and intimacy of two of the best concert halls in the world: the historic Grosser Musikvereinsaal in Vienna and the ten-year-old Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood in western Massachusetts, the summer home of the Boston Symphony. Like the highly-regarded Ozawa Hall, the back door of the concert hall will slide open, allowing outdoor audiences of up to 10,000 to picnic and enjoy live performances under an evening sky.

Complementing the concert hall is the intimate 250-seat Recital Hall featuring the soaring spaces and acoustics of 17th Century European cathedrals to suit choral music, recitals and all forms of chamber music. Additional Music Center features include a 1,000-square-foot Founders Room; 7,000-square-foot exterior courtyard; appropriate "back-of-the-house" infrastructure including backstage, loading dock, dressing rooms (conductor/soloists/musicians) including five soloist room suites; warm-up space and instrument storage; two 5,000-square-foot rehearsal halls; two 60-workstation classrooms; three ensemble rooms; three practice studios and four practice rooms; lecture hall space, faculty offices and departmental suites for the staff, Music Department and Theater Arts Department.
