TROY, N.Y. \u2014 The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall\u2019s new Capital Region Music Hub hosted its official ribbon-cutting on Tuesday, marking the completion of the $15 million expansion and renovation project.<\/p>\n
The project was supported by $6.5 million from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and Empire State Development (ESD), including $1.5 million through the Department of State\u2019s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). The project includes new flexible use space, rehearsal and event space, an education classroom, and updated HVAC systems.<\/p>\n
The project marks the first significant interior renovation to the property in more than 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew York\u2019s arts and cultural sector is a critical part of our economic prosperity and global leadership,\u201d Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a press release. \u201cThrough our investments in capital projects like these, we are promoting cultural and economic growth in communities across New York. And, with the completion of this project, Troy Savings Bank Music Hall will continue to attract audiences, spark growth and strengthen the region for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mayor Carmella Mantello also voiced her gratitude for the project\u2019s completion and said the new space is a continuation of investment for the Collar City.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe completion of the Capital Region Music Hub marks an exciting new chapter for the historic Troy Savings Bank Music Hall and for the City of Troy,\u201d Mantello said in the release. \u201cThis investment, combined with my administration\u2019s $1 million dollar ARPA allocation \u2014 not only preserves one of our community\u2019s most treasured cultural landmarks but also expands opportunities for education, collaboration, and year-round performances that will benefit residents and visitors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank Governor Hochul and our state partners for recognizing the importance of the arts as a driver of economic growth, tourism, and community vitality in Troy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Assemblymember John McDonald, D-Cohoes, also emphasized the importance of the project\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always good when government can help inspire, support, and support a variety of organizations,\u201d he said. \u201cTroy Music Hall is one that\u2019s more than worthy. But what also makes it work is that, number one, we have a government who understands the importance of bringing our cities back, and knows that arts and culture play a large role.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, which is designated as a National Historic Landmark, has been in use since opening in 1875. It has hosted performances by artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Isaac Stern, Yo-Yo Ma and Vladimir Horowitz, as well as Boz Scaggs, India Arie, Lake Street Dive and Trey Anastasio.<\/p>\n
Troy was named the Capital Region\u2019s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) winner for the fifth round in 2022. Other DRI winners in the region include Glens Falls, Hudson, Albany, Schenectady, Tannersville, Cohoes, Lake George, Catskill and Rensselaer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project was so much more than expanding and restoring a beautiful historic space,\u201d New York State Council on the Arts Executive Director Erika Mallin said. \u201cNow, with the Capital Region Music Hub, Troy Savings Bank Music Hall is equipped to serve the region for another 150 years with inspiring performances, greater accessibility, and year-round programming to residents and visitors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.troyrecord.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TROY, N.Y. \u2014 The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall\u2019s new Capital Region Music Hub hosted its official ribbon-cutting on Tuesday, marking the completion of the $15 million expansion and renovation project.
