A First-Class Facility
Our Center for the Arts is a fabulous place for music study, teaching, rehearsing and performing. The Class of 1945 Hall offers outstanding acoustics for music performance and recording.

Ten schools join us for our annual Wick Choral Festival in February 2011. The Center for the Arts and the Class of 1945 Hall serve as the home for our Summer Music Festival in July and August, now in its fifth season.
