Temple of Music and Art

Description:

• Patrons of the arts, demanding a proper environment for classical concerts in Tucson, helped raise most of the money necessary to build this imposing concert hall in 1927. The main building is home to a 600-seat theater, mainly used by the Arizona Theatre Company. There is a small art gallery on the second floor; the south wing contains a nice cafe, with a cabaret theater right above it, while the north wing holds a gift shop offering theatrical and musical souvenirs.
