Howard Chenery Auditorium

Seating Area

 


What can you expect when you visit Chenery Auditorium?
First, you can enter from either the Dutton Street entrance or the regular Westnedge entrance. The Dutton Street entrance has a totally new marquee and pillars.  The Westnedge entrance has new doors. Next, you will notice that there are only four aisles, in place of the usual five. Ticket takers will greet you at the door for your aisle.  As you enter the aisle for your seat, you will go through a second set of doors. These doors help keep outside sound and light from interrupting the program you are watching. A new, wider seat awaits you.
Many acoustic improvements have been completed including a new orchestra shell. New railing inserts improve viewing. Most lighting has been moved to the back of the Gallery, providing less obstructions. New lighting instruments have been installed. The orchestra pit has been remodeled to provide more space for the orchestra.
Air conditioning of the auditorium and stage keep the audience and performers comfortable when the weather heats up.
Don't miss out! Check the Upcoming Events and make plans to enjoy the still "Classic", but improved Chenery Auditorium!!!
There are many opportunities to enjoy yourself at Chenery Auditorium this season.
Plan now to be part of THE GILMORE, 2010 Keyboard Festival, April 22 - May 8, 2010.  20 years, ten festivals!
