In May 1974, then-University Auditorium opened its doors with the intention of becoming a Penn State performing-arts destination and educational landmark. In April 2025, the Center for the Performing Arts welcomes soon-to-be announced members of the Penn State choral community to relive that opening night in the closing event of the auditorium’s fiftieth anniversary season.
The program will feature the works:
• Inspiration! — Festive Overture by Quinn Mason
• blue cathedral by Jennifer Higdon
• Symphony No. 9 by Ludwig van Beethoven
