the HISTORIC WARNER GRAND symphony CENTER

The Grand Theatre, one of Milwaukee's most iconic buildings, is the gem of Wisconsin Avenue. We are raising money to renovate, improve, and restore the facility, creating a modern symphony experience within the historic Grand Theatre. The realization of this vision will ensure our future as a performing arts institution of national caliber and a major asset within Milwaukee's cultural, social, and business communities. By selecting this location, we make the choice to maintain the integrity of an existing cultural, historic, and architectural treasure, eliminating the further deterioration of a city landmark, and transforming it into an opportunity for economic and organizational development.
