The Granoff Music Center opened in February 2007 to an extremely enthusiastic faculty and student body as the new home of the entire Music Department at Tufts University. The centerpiece is The Distler Performance Hall, designed for luxuriant and enveloping reverberation for natural unamplified music, without any interruption from extraneous or audible background noise. It is acclaimed for both performance and recording. Performers and audiences celebrate the unique thrill of great sound without any need for electronic enhancement or reinforcement.
