Built in 2004, Buhler Hall is an acoustically
superior performance and recording venue located in Gretna, Manitoba. This 463-seat hall has hosted many professional performances, including The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Manitoba
Chamber Orchestra, Canzona, Tom Jackson, Manitoba Theatre
Centre, and the Winnipeg Chamber Music Society to name a few.
"Winnipeg has nothing like it," said Henry Engbrecht, former
University of Manitoba choral professor, in a Winnipeg Free Press
report on the opening gala. This $5.5 million facility rivals the best
small halls in Western Canada. An expansive stage projects sound with great
clarity and rewards the performer richly by creating an intimate audience-performer
experience. Gorgeous sound with first-rate amenities
makes Buhler Hall a high caliber arts venue.
Buhler Hall is the latest addition to the campus of Mennonite Collegiate
Institute, an independent boarding school established in 1889. The dream of building a concert hall in this community
was realized with the generosity of countless donors including a major
donation by John and Bonnie Buhler whom the building is named after. |
