Following a $40 million renovation and restoration effort, the Foundation continues to raise funds to protect the community's investment and stay at the forefront of technology, audience safety and amenities. The Foundation also raises funds for outreach programming and endowment to provide need-based support, resources, and advocacy to music and performing arts education programs benefiting local school children.
