I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Calling all music lovers of Arkansas! Did you hear about the new Stella Boyle Smith Music Center coming to Little Rock in September 2024? During the summer of 2023, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra (ASO) broke ground for the new entertainment center. At 20,000 square foot, the multi-million-dollar state-of-the-art facility will serve as the permanent headquarters for the ASO. If you ask me, this will be an incredible venue for music and art lovers. And even if you’re not, it’s worth checking out! Read on to find out more about this new entertainment center in Little Rock Arkansas.
One thing I know for sure is that music brings folks together. So, it's important that we have venues like the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra that's been around since 1966.
Currently, the ASO is located on the campus of the Catholic Diocese of Little Rock, but the new building will be moving to the Heifer International campus on the banks of the Arkansas River.
Of course, musical selections were provided by local bands and orchestra members. After all, it makes sense to have live music at the groundbreaking ceremony for a music center, right?
Featuring classrooms, concert halls, a recording studio, administrative offices, and more, the center will promote music and the arts for all generations. Kids especially will benefit from the various music programs.
Either way, the new Stella Boyle Smith Music Center will have something for everyone and will be a great addition to the cultural scene in Little Rock.
