We're having a wonderful meeting of the "Executive Director Minds" with Executive Director from the Savannah Philharmonic - Amy Williams, and Executive Director of the Savannah Music Festival - Gene Dobbs Bradford.

The question we are asking ourselves is - where will we grow? It's truly time to "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive"!

From the City of Savannah: In February 2022, Savannah opened the state-of-the-art Enmarket Arena on Stiles Avenue, just west of downtown and east of Historic Carver Village. In anticipation of that historic milestone, the City has been developing a plan for the 50-year-old Savannah Civic Center, comprised of the Martin Luther King Jr. Arena and Johnny Mercer Theater, which sit on nearly 8 acres in Savannah’s National Historic Landmark District.

In 1972, the City of Savannah completed the construction of the Savannah Civic Center on the site of the former Municipal Auditorium. The facility currently encompasses a 7.0-acre site—the equivalent of 10 city blocks—and includes the 9,700-seat Martin Luther King, Jr. Arena, 2,500-seat Johnny Mercer Theatre, ballrooms, several multi-purpose rooms used for several municipal and community purposes, and two levels of lobby space.
