Bull Run Restaurant MWB Music Without Borders

The Bull Run

215 Great Rd, Shirley, MA 01464
Capacity 300

The Bull Run has been a Tavern for centuries and in Alison Tocci’s family since the 1940‘s. For six decades, Alison’s brother and their father before him ran the family business. Alison and her husband George took the reins on New Year’s Eve of 2009 and now employ 74 people including a wide array of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and even a few outlaws. Their mission is simple: buy local; treat the staff and the talent like gold; support the local events and institutions that truly create community; and bring world-class entertainment to this rustic setting in north central Massachusetts. The intimate atmosphere at Bull Run is one-of-a-kind and we sincerely believe the Tavern is lucky for love; maybe that’s why so many betrothals, weddings, and special anniversaries take place here as the decades roll by. The tired and thirsty traveler has been stopping along this Great Road since 1740. Alison and George invite you to continue the tradition. Step back in time and relax in the authentic atmosphere of Bull Run.

Kleinhans Music Hall

3 Symphony Circle, Buffalo, NY 14201

Capacity 2500 I Main Auditorium

Capacity 700 I Mary Seaton Room

Kleinhans Music Hall is designated as a National Historic Landmark with an international reputation as one of the finest concert halls. Orchestra musicians, conductors, and soloists have long admired Kleinhans, including Jascha Heifetz (“It’s a joy to play in this hall”); Artur Rubenstein (“Any artist gives his best in a hall such as this”); and Serge Koussevitzsky (“Kleinhans Music Hall is a dream of a lifetime – perfect and complete.”) Kleinhans is considered one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the world, and that perfection has not diminished through the years.

Kleinhans Music Hall was built thanks to the generosity and vision of Edward and Mary Seaton Kleinhans and the stewardship of their charitable dreams by the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. The Community Foundation was bequeathed the estates of Mr. and Mrs. Kleinhans, who made their fortune from the clothing store that bore their name, and who died within three months of each other in 1934. The hall was completed using funds from the Public Works Administration.

The Kleinhans, who were music lovers, found the Elmwood Music Hall drafty and acoustically imperfect, and specified their money was to be used “to erect a suitable music hall…for the use, enjoyment and benefit of the people of the City of Buffalo.”

Kleinhans Music Hall was officially opened on October 12, 1940; this date also marked the Buffalo Philharmonic’s first concert in the hall under the baton of Franco Autori.

Kleinhans Music Hall was designed by the famous Finnish father-and-son team of Eliel and Eero Saarinen, along with architects F.J. and W.A Kidd. Kleinhans is known for its combination of graceful structural beauty and extraordinary acoustics. The design of Kleinhans Music Hall resembles the body of a string instrument, as does the main auditorium. There are three notable rooms within Kleinhans: the Main Auditorium, Livingston Hall (named in memory of Mary Livingston, mother of Mr. Kleinhans), and the Mary Seaton Room (a memorial to Mr. Kleinhans’ wife, Mary Seaton Kleinhans).

Eliel Saarinen’s aim was to create “an architectural atmosphere…so as to tune the performers and the public alike into a proper mood of performance and receptiveness, respectively.” In 1989, the hall was designated a National Historic Landmark, the highest designation of significance a site or structure can receive.

Loos Center for the Arts

150 Route 169, Woodstock, CT 06281

Capacity 1000

Originally built in 1967 on the campus of Annhurst College, the venue was to bring arts to the "Quiet Corner" of Connecticut -- an area that otherwise was left without ease of access. Through the years, the facility slowly became less public-focused; used for a period of time as a training facility and then later by a different independent school as their campus meeting space. In 2017, the venue was purchased by The Woodstock Academy with a revitalized vision for what the facility could present. As a result, Center for the Arts was created to fulfill the vision of years past; giving back to the local community by bringing accessible visual and performing arts to the area. 

In May of 2019, a commitment of historic level by Mrs. Joan Loos was given to support The Woodstock Academy's vision. The gift, committed in honor of her late husband, August "Gus" Loos, was a way to further honor her husband and their company while securing arts opportunities for thousands of students and community members for years to come. This resulted in the renaming of the fine arts facility to Loos Center for the Arts.

The Paramount Music Without Borders

The Paramount Theater

215 East Main Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902

Capacity 1100

Following its Thanksgiving Eve 1931 opening, The Paramount became a landmark overnight. As one of Charlottesville’s premiere destinations, The Paramount made movie-going a special experience. The Paramount remained Charlottesville’s crown jewel until 1974 when its doors closed for good as businesses moved out of the downtown area. Even as the lights dimmed on the marquee, the theater was not forgotten. Almost from that moment, efforts were launched to save the theater from real and constant threats of demolition.

The nonprofit Paramount Theater reopened its doors on December 15, 2004 as a premiere performing arts center located on Charlottesville’s thriving downtown mall. Since the reopening, more than 1 million patrons have attended thousands of events presented on the stage and screen. With auditorium and balcony seating for just over 1,000 guests, the sight lines have been summarized as “There is not a bad seat in the house!”

In July 2017, The Paramount Theater was awarded the Outstanding Historic Theatre Award by the League of Historic American Theatres (LHAT). The Outstanding Historic Theatre Award recognizes a theater that demonstrates excellence through its community impact, quality of program and services, and quality of the restoration or rehabilitation of its historic structure.
