Green Music Center :: About The Center

The heart of the 105,435-square-foot Green Music Center, a part of the Sonoma State University campus in Rohnert Park, California, is its world-class concert hall, designed to perfectly showcase acoustic music and the human voice.

Named by Jean Schulz, wife of the late Charles Schulz, creator of the Peanuts cartoon strip, Schroeder’s Recital Hall features seating for 250 in a cathedral-like building, tall and thin, designed to accentuate the melodic voice and instrument as they move throughout the hall. The walls have been constructed with no 90 degree angles to aid in the flow of sound and bring it to the ear of the listener in exactly the way it was intended to be heard.

But the Green Music Center will include much more. Music Education Hall will house Sonoma State University's expanding music and performing arts programs. It will also accommodate performances by community groups, and Greenfarm, the performing arts educational programs of music of the center for students of all ages and backgrounds.

The Green Music Center Hospitality Center will offer an expansive banquet and executive retreat center with meeting rooms and a restaurant for both indoor and outdoor dining.
