Thank you for the Music: This Fall at Arlington Music Hall
“The experiences we offer and create at Arlington Music Hall can be shared by families and friends and become memories of bringing people together. No other medium does that as well as music, because it connects to our emotions. To be a part of something like that - what more could anyone ask for?”
- Claud Smith III, Creative Curator, Arlington Music Hall
Arlington Music Hall has been a leader in the North Texas music scene for generations. From the Johnny High Country Music Revue (where LeAnn Rimes was discovered) to Willie Nelson, Wynona and The Oak Ridge Boys, this 1,000 seat gem of a theatre has it all – modern acoustics, classic style, up-close intimacy with the performers, and home-town hospitality that arena-style venues can’t touch.
“We’re always looking for ways to maintain the theater’s historic charm while incorporating modern upgrades to enhance the concert attendees’ experience,” said Susan Cloud, director of marketing and media relations at Arlington Music Hall.
Included in those enhancements are new digital screens promoting upcoming shows, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and a broader range of options at the concession stand. The newly launched Marquee Membership program provides benefits including discounted tickets, pre-show cocktail parties and front-of-line autograph access.
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll
While Arlington Music Hall cut its teeth on classic country acts, the venue’s new creative direction in the last couple of years has thrown the doors open wide to other musical styles and eras.
“We pride ourselves in offering diverse, quality entertainment to appeal to a wide variety of concert attendees,” Cloud said. “Our patrons give us feedback on the acts they’d like to see at the Music Hall, and we keep a close eye on which artists’ shows are performing well in our region. We also love to bring in shows that no one would expect, like Vicki Lawrence.”
Class act
Symphony Arlington also calls the Music Hall home, offering full seasons of concerts by outstanding local talent and visiting artists. The theme for the 2016-17 season, “Symphony Goes Wild,” celebrates composers who have been inspired by nature, such as Shostakovitch's gadfly, Saint-Saëns’ elephants and many more.
