Academy of Music, Performing arts center in Lynchburg, United States.
The Academy of Music is a performing arts venue with a symmetrical Beaux-Arts facade on Main Street, distinguished by ornate detailing and grand interior staircases. The building houses a theater space with the classic layout and finishes typical of early twentieth-century concert halls.
The building was designed in 1904 by the architectural firm Frye & Chesterman during a period of growth in theatrical design. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, securing its status as a protected structure.
The stage has hosted world-class performers from classical music and theater throughout its history. Today it remains central to the town's cultural life as a gathering place for artistic performances and community events.
The venue is centrally located on Main Street and easily accessible for visitors to walk through. Plan to spend time inside to appreciate the full scope of the architectural details and performance space.
This building is among the last surviving legitimate theaters from the early twentieth century still operating in Virginia. This rarity makes it a valuable window into the region's theatrical heritage and how performance venues have endured over time.
