Facilities, Performance, and Production Team

FACILITIES MAINTENANCE

  • Coordinating events, and managing the logistics of performances, repairs, remodels, and construction activities.

CONCERT AND EVENT COORDINATION

  • One month prior to each event, the event/performance contact person (faculty, GE, or student) must provide a completed Information and Arrangement form. The form is used to schedule stage crew, front-of-house and ticket office crew, piano tunings, and audio and visual services.
  • Depending upon availability, green rooms are provided for each performance.
  • Instrument rentals are provided to students (and occasionally to visiting guest artists) who do not have their own, when required by their ensemble conductor or studio professor. General wear and tear repairs to rental instruments are performed regularly, oftentimes through outside repair facilities.
  • After selection of the instrument, one tuned piano is prepared for each performance.

AUDIO ENGINEERING

  • The team automatically creates an audio recording of each performance, and provides a CD to the event contact person. If the event was live-streamed, a DVD is also provided.
  • The team provides audio design, digital remastering of audio recordings and of live-streamed events, and special recording projects (student degree-related or faculty driven).

PIANO MAINTENANCE

  • Pianos are tuned on regular basis, but additionally Piano Maintenance Request forms are available in each practice room and classroom.
