Description
Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and opened in 2001, the 2,500-seat auditorium was rededicated in 2024 in honor of contralto and civil rights icon Marian Anderson (formerly Verizon Hall). The space is anchored by the Fred J. Cooper Memorial Organ (Dobson Opus 76), hosting a stage schedule that ranges from classical repertoire to major touring concerts and film-with-live-orchestra presentations.
