Fine Arts Center Hosts Finale'

Summary: Calvin College's Fine Arts Center (FAC) hosts its final concert in 43-year history.

The Fine Arts Center, an historic venue at Calvin College, will host its final concert on Saturday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. The venue has hosted around 18,000 events since it opened in 1966.

This Saturday, more than 200 performers from the music department will present "A Concert of Covenant," a gala evening celebrating God's faithfulness through the 43-year history of the Fine Arts Center.

"It's safe to say that there are very few dark nights in that auditorium," said Jeff Schra, coordinator of Calvin's student music tours.

The FAC will undergo a significant remodeling beginning this Spring. The remodeling is a part of the campaign for Calvin College and will create additional practice, rehearsal, teaching and performance space. There will also be upgrades to seating, lighting and acoustics as well as new wall and floor finishes.

The final concert in the FAC is open to the public and admission is free. A reception will follow the concert.
