Belmont University is a private, four-year Christian university serving more than 8,700 students located just two miles from downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The school’s College of Music and Performing Arts offers internationally recognized, nationally accredited programs in music, theatre, and dance.

In 2018, the school began work on a new 1,700-seat, multi-functional auditorium to accommodate many of the school’s dance, theatre, and musical performances, as well as an array of special events, including performances by the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, traveling Broadway shows and international artists. 

The focus of the new center is a custom Diva® Acoustical Shell, created by Wenger Corporation. The shell has 13 towers that are each 12 feet (3.65 meters) wide and 40 feet (12.19 meters) tall. There are four onstage ceiling rows and one forestage reflector. The ceilings and forestage reflector incorporate a combination of Lieto™ LED White and RGBW light fixtures.

“The beauty and performance capabilities of The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts are simply unmatched, and its possibilities are unparalleled,” New Belmont President Dr. Greg Jones says. “This venue will equip students with the confidence and real-world experiences that set them apart as Belmont graduates while also attracting world-renowned artists to share their immense talents with our campus and the local community. With Belmont’s rich tradition of creativity and imagination across our campus, the Fisher Center will be a place for those values to come to life through curating, producing and presenting stories and art that inspire.”
