From the lost years of war to the exuberance of the Roaring Twenties, England’s music finds a new voice.
Vaughan Williams’ windswept poetry and Elgar’s searing Piano Quintet give way to Walton’s dazzling "Façade"—a jazzy, theatrical burst of modern energy— as an old country steps boldly into a new age.
The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center
The Baker-Baum Concert Hall is an intimate performance space with superb acoustics ideally suited for chamber music and classical recitals. In addition, its design incorporates state-of-the-art technology and adjustable acoustics, making it a world class space for amplified concerts, film, dance, theatre, lectures, and more. A wooden grillage frames the elegant curvature to the seating area creating a shape reminiscent of a European opera house. Outside this framework, lighting washes the walls in color to create a sense of space beyond.
