The center's principal, acoustically sophisticated Joan and Sanford I. Weill Hall hosts classical (Santa Rosa Symphony), jazz (Kenny Barron Quintet), avant-garde (Kronos Quartet), and other ensembles, as well as performers from Martha Redbone and Joan Baez to Ice-T and Branford Marsalis. During summer the hall's back wall opens out for Summer at the Green concerts on a terraced lawn. The curved walls of the intimate 240-seat Schroeder Hall were designed to enhance the sounds of the room's 1,248-pipe organ.  If driving, park in Lots L–O (included in ticket price).
