Your Support Will Change The Face Of Music In Memphis

The new Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center has world-class facilities supporting its role as the region's largest and most comprehensive music school. The 82,000-square-foot Music Center boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including a 900+ seat concert hall, expanded stage space, exceptional acoustics, dedicated rehearsal spaces and classrooms and modern music laboratories.

The goal is to raise $1 million to ensure students thrive in the new Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center with all the necessary resources to succeed. A portion of the funding will equip the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music with the most up-to-date technology and recording equipment that supports advances such as real-time synchrony with musicians worldwide. Gifts will also be used to purchase instruments and create a borrowing program that will give students who cannot afford instruments the ability to borrow one for a limited time.

Our fundraising efforts continue to fully equip our state-of-the-art facility with needed equipment and support for an instrument-lending program for students.
