Joe,

Thanks for putting up this post. It's nice to see the picture.
What a difference BeneRoyal Hall made for the Symphony here in Seattle as well. And it's not just the symphony that benefits. For example, within the last couple of years, some of the local liberal arts Colleges and Universities began to have their Christmas Choral and Orchestra events at the hall. The SPU alumni director told me that they rent the hall for around $5,000, and sell out 2000 seats at $12 a pop. And this is for a music program that couldn't fill up the campus sanctuary for their Chrismas concert when it was free.

I think you will find moving forward that there is a connection between the hall and the quality of the Orchestra's core.

I'm looking forward to hearing good things happen in Memphis! Any scoop on when they will release their first recording made in the new hall?
