Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Performing arts center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is a performing arts complex in West Palm Beach, Florida, made up of several separate venues on one campus. These include Dreyfoos Concert Hall, Rinker Playhouse, and Persson Hall, each designed for a different type of show and audience size.
The center opened in September 1992 with an inaugural celebration featuring well-known performers of the time. Over the following years it grew into a fixture of the cultural life of South Florida.
The center welcomes Broadway productions, orchestra concerts, and dance shows that draw audiences from across the region. Before performances, the lobby fills with a mix of local regulars and visitors from further away, giving the place a social feel.
Because the complex contains several separate halls, it is worth checking in advance which building your event is in before you arrive. Giving yourself a few extra minutes to find the right entrance makes the visit more comfortable.
A digital-mechanical organ installed in 2016 in Dreyfoos Concert Hall is said to be the first of its kind in a concert hall anywhere in the world. It was funded entirely through private donations and combines traditional pipe organ mechanics with digital sound generation.
