The renovation of the new Helen and Thomas Wu Performance Hall began in January after years of planning and preparation! Formerly known as the Elkus Room, the new space has been renamed in honor of Charles and Laurie Wu McClain and will open in August 2024. The renovation will include an enlarged stage as well as state-of-the-art upgrades to sound, lighting and digital technology, and will result in a splendid performing venue of 100 seats for all manner of ensembles and presentations. Your support for this project, including sponsoring seats with your name for a gift of $5,000 or more, would be most welcome; please contact us at Give2Music@berkeley.edu.
