Chapman University’s new world-class Musco Center for the Arts is a state-of-the-art theatre for arts, education and community. The 88,000-square-foot facility is giving students and faculty an opportunity to achieve the highest standard of arts-related education by offering hands-on experiences with renowned arts organizations.
Designed by award-winning architects Pfeiffer Partners, and acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics, whose projects include Disney Hall and Stanford's Bing Concert Hall, among many others.
The Center’s stunning Julianne Argyros Orchestra Hall features 1,044 seats spanning three levels where the community can enjoy large-scale opera and theatre productions, touring dance companies, symphonies, chamber performances, jazz, world and popular music, and much more.
