The Music Center's Spaces
The Lockheed Martin Lobby
The soaring 65-foot high fritted glass curtain wall in the Lockheed Martin Lobby looks out onto green wetlands by day and reflects light in the evenings to form a beautiful intricate pattern. Serving as the main entry point to the Concert Hall on the Orchestra level, there are two other adjoining lobby areas at the Promenade and Grand Tier levels which overlook this magnificent space. Doors at the Orchestra level open up to an adjacent Outdoor Terrace, which may be tented for private events.
Additional space is available in the Grand Tier Lobby, Pavilion, Comcast Lounge, and Promenade walk to expand this space for large events.
The Pavilion
The Bernard Family Foundation Pavilion in the Music Center offers a stunning option for an open-air event with retractable walls that open to the beautiful wooded campus at Strathmore. Bright and flexible, this space is well suited for an event up to 100 people, but can be combined with other spaces for larger events and receptions. Contact us to learn more.
The Comcast Circles Lounge
Immediately adjacent to the Lockheed Martin Lobby, this private reception room is perfect for intimate gatherings. The curved shape of the room reflects the arc of the roofline, and the warmth of the wood and moss green carpeting from the Lockheed Martin Lobby carry through into the Lounge. A curved glass outer wall has doors which open to the outdoor Terrace. Normally outfitted with a mix of comfortable couches and small cocktail tables, the space may be used as is, or transformed to a banquet-style reception area. A private curved bar with granite countertops services the Comcast Circles Lounge.
