“Dollars for Decibels” : new sound system

‘The bread that once was ground with corn’...?

Many are the messages heard by our audience and visitors to this magnificent place, although rarely at the same time. Our sound system is renowned, but for all the wrong reasons. Years of additions, rewirings and extensions have left us with a set-up of disparate speakers and broadcast qualities such that mime or semaphore seems almost a better way to communicate! In 2017, we have created and costed a sound solution, one which integrates all spaces of this wonderful building with a cohesive installation of new equipment throughout. Our target is $220,000 and we are already more than 14% on our way to that goal! We are inviting our supporters to be a part of this vital project.
