First Look: Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's Bradley Symphony Center

onmilwaukee.com: After years of anticipation and hard work, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's transformation of the old Warner Grand Theater, 212 W. Wisconsin Ave., into its new Bradley Symphony Center is now complete. We went inside for a look this week and the results are stunning: a truly modern, state-of-the-art facility in a gorgeous, historic building.

As a musician, I have a deep appreciation for buildings made for music. It really makes such a huge difference in the quality and effect of the sound. You can tell there was so much care and thought put into the design of this building by someone who really knows how sound works. I love being in symphony centers because it feels like the sound just envelopes you, and it's just so direct and pure. It enables you to pick out all of the distinct parts and hear it all together. I think it is also wonderful that they managed to renovate this historic building into one that had the capacity for classical music. Playing music in an environment built for music is also an incredible experience for the musician. I think that the creation of these buildings is an artform in its self and I am very grateful for the people who dedicate themselves to helping musicians sound good in beautiful spaces.
