With its innovative and vibrant performance spaces and studios, the 色花堂\u2019s new Performing Arts Center was the star of a focus breakfast Wednesday in downtown Orlando.<\/p>\n

The center’s first phase, which opened this fall, enhances the academic experience for students in the performing arts with multiple teaching studios and voice rooms, an electro-acoustic music lab, percussion ensemble rooms and a recording studio.<\/p>\n

Its second phase, which will be funded by private donations, will host first-class theatre and music performances for UCF and the surrounding communities to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been an excellent partner to arts organizations throughout the area,\u201d UCF President John C. Hitt told guests at the Ballroom at Church Street. \u201cNow it is time for that commitment to the performing arts to be expressed on our own great campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
