SMC’s satellite campus lights up the arts! SMC’s Performing Arts Center at Madison is home to SMC’s Music Department and to SMC’s Madison Project, a presenting and arts education foundation.
While construction continues on the new 541-seat state-of-the-art concert hall, the newly renovated classroom building and the smaller rehearsal hall open this Fall.
The Foundation is currently planning a gala opening in the large hall for May 2008, featuring legendary chanteuse Barbara Cook and the Grammy-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer. Other performances to be produced and presented by the Madison Project in May 2008 include the baroque ensemble Musica Angelica, the Colburn Youth Orchestra, Lula Washington Dance, LA Opera’s Domingo-Thornton Young Artists, and the cutting edge chamber ensemble Jacaranda.
The Foundation is also planning several co-productions in June, including with KCRW and with the Festival of New American Musical Theatre; a summer theatrical run; and a full season to begin in October of 2008. Please visit our website (www.smc.edu/madison) for the latest updates.
