Upon entering the Performing Arts Center you'll find yourself in our main lobby. The welcome area for performances, it provides access to concession stands, the box office, and the administrative offices on the second floor. Architecturally complex, the glass wall located on the south facing wall provides a view of the Performing and Visual Arts Complex plaza and the Ramsey Student Physical Activities Center further south.

Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall is the larger of the two concert halls in the Performing Arts Center. Named for the founder of the University's School of Music, the hall seats 1,100 persons in festival-style seating (seats surround the stage). Its superb acoustics complement solo artists as well as chamber ensembles and full symphony orchestras.

Ramsey Concert Hall, seating 360 persons, offers a more intimate setting for solo recitals and chamber music concerts. Named in honor of Bernard Ramsey, this hall hosts the Ramsey Concert Hall Series of new artists as well as providing a performing home for doctoral students and faculty members. As in Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall, seats surround the performing area.

"With the completion of University Parkway, [Atlanta residents] are within an easy drive to the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center, a frequent host to the Atlanta Symphony, with better acoustics than our own Symphony Hall."—Atlanta Magazine

"Hodgson Hall is, by far, the best concert hall in Georgia, and one of the finest in the country. If you hear the Atlanta Symphony in this hall, you hear it for the first time."—Yoel Levi, Music Director Emeritus, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
