Your Company’s Name Here

The new Education and Rehearsal Wing completes the footprint for the Hylton Performing Arts Center, with a design inspired by nearly a decade of performance and programming experience to facilitate the full life cycle of artistic creation. In this new Wing, students and artists will learn, educate, rehearse, perform, and collaborate to achieve artistic heights and delve into the depths of their own creativity.

BECOME A PART OF A MASTERPIECE.

Your key will be displayed as part of an artistic installation in the new Education and Rehearsal Wing, honoring the jazz master work “Giant Steps” by John Coltrane. This piece is seen as a rite of passage for jazz student musicians, representing not only the giant steps between the notes in the written music, but also the giant step a budding musician achieves in successfully mastering this piece. Your key will support many generations of student artists as they take their “giant steps” of creativity in the Education and Rehearsal Wing.
