Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center

8201 Dakota Street

Cedar Falls, IA 50614

Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center

319-273-3660

Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa. Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy. The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines. Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>

						<p>Decades of dreams and three years of construction became a reality on April 6, 2000, with the dedication of the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.   Enabled by the vision and generosity of Cedar Valley residents Ed and Cathy Gallagher and Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, as well as support from the university, the state and over 1,400 donors across Iowa, the Center has become a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.   The $23 million, 100,000 square foot complex features three state-of-the-art concert halls, a soaring glass-walled lobby and dozens of teaching and rehearsal spaces. All three halls have been designed with state of the art equipment, superb acoustics and intimate sightlines.   Hosting over 300 performances each year, the GBPAC showcases the world's finest artists, ensembles of the UNI School of Music, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony and many other community and regional events.</p>		</div>
