Inaugurated in 2003, this brand new state-of-the-art performance facility has already attracted world-class performers from the international classical circuit, like the Canadian Brass, Christopher Parkening, Tokyo String Quartet and the Vienna Choir Boys. Designed by Kirkegaard Associates, the same acoustics firm that redesigned Carnegie Hall, the acoustic perfection and astonishing design make the Howard Performing Arts Center the architectural gem of the Andrews campus. But, above all, the Howard Center is an invaluable performance resource to music students, offering an ideal venue for concerts, recitals, and recordings.
