Your Support Will Change The Face Of Music In Memphis

The Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center offers world-class facilities, supporting its role as the region's largest and most comprehensive music school. This 82,000-square-foot center features state-of-the-art amenities, including a 900+ seat concert hall, expanded stage space, exceptional acoustics, dedicated rehearsal spaces, classrooms, and modern music laboratories.

We aim to raise funds to provide students with the resources they need to thrive in the new Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center. Part of the funding will equip the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music with the latest technology and recording equipment, enabling innovations like real-time synchrony with musicians worldwide. Additionally, funds will be used to purchase instruments and establish a borrowing program, allowing students who cannot afford their own instruments to borrow one temporarily.

Our fundraising efforts are ongoing as we work to fully equip our state-of-the-art facility with the necessary equipment and support for an instrument-lending program for students.
