One quarter of LVC\u2019s undergraduates participate in music programming and experiences.<\/p>\n

Joan Squires \u201979 and her husband, Dan Hamann, have pledged $5 million through the Ever Forward<\/strong><\/em> campaign to establish the Squires School of Music and Creative Technology. This naming gift for LVC\u2019s Music programs will transform the Bertha Brossman Blair Music Center into a hub for music education, performance, and creative technology.<\/p>\n

Signature renovations include a sweeping two-story glass lobby to welcome guests and serve as an additional event space along with a significant overhaul to Lutz Auditorium. Technology deployed in the auditorium and the building at large will have the ability to subtly enhance or emphatically underline the program material.<\/p>\n

Upgrades will include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Immersive object-based audio mixing platform<\/li>\n
  • Active variable room acoustics system<\/li>\n
  • Large format LED wall displays on stage and in house<\/li>\n
  • LED house and stage lighting<\/li>\n
  • System controls for hosting anything from simple events to full-scale productions with the touch of a screen<\/li>\n
  • Integration with existing recording and production facilities on campus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    To support these projects, contact Matthew Weaver (mweaver@lvc.edu<\/a>) or 717-867-6440<\/a>.<\/p>\n
