The DiMenna Center is custom designed for classical music rehearsal, with state-of-the-art acoustics, and can accommodate musicians ranging from soloists to full symphony orchestras and choruses. Our largest space, Cary Hall, is ideal for orchestras and choruses. Benzaquen Hall can accommodate a chamber orchestra. The Marianne Lockwood Green Room is ideal for rehearsing 2-6 person chamber ensembles.
Our spaces also meet the rehearsal needs of dance, jazz, rock, and pop groups, theater productions, and other performing arts projects, with theatrical lighting, audio playback systems, and a sprung floor in Cary Hall.
