The Bartlesville Symphony is fortunate to rehearse and perform in one of Oklahoma�s, if not the nation�s, finest �smaller� concert halls. The 1700-seat Bartlesville Community Center was built in 1982 and serves the entire region as a multi-purpose facility for all types of performances and events. Its concert hall is renowned for its beauty and marvelous acoustics, and it is on this stage that the Bartlesville Symphony has become such a vital force in the community�s culture. The hall was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright prot�g� William Wesley Peters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Taliesin. The striking architecture, particularly in juxtaposition to Wright�s famous Price Tower across the street, has made the Community Center a visual focal point of downtown Bartlesville.

The Center and our Conductor -- A Side Note

Symphony Music Director Lauren Green has probably the longest continuous working relationship with the Center, beginning with his involvement in the final stages of planning when he came to Bartlesville in 1977. In late 1981, several months before the Center opened to the public, Green conducted the first performance on the Center’s stage, amassing members of the Symphony and Choral Society to perform (without audience as there were no seats yet) Handel’s Messiah amidst the dust, concrete and scaffolding. And Green’s wedding reception in 1982 was the first of hundreds that have since been held in the Center’s Community Hall. Since then he has appeared on its stage regularly as conductor, performer and even actor and formerly served as Vice Chairman of the Bartlesville Community Center Trust Authority, the Center’s governing body.
