On the other hand there are university music departments, which originally placed more emphasis on academic study of music, but often place greater emphasis on performance now than they did in the past. The two groups overlap more than they used to, with the specific balance of vocational training and academic study varying from one institution to another.Campus and Facilities The Eastman School occupies parts of five buildings in downtown Rochester, New York. The main hall includes the recently-renovated 3,094-seat Eastman Theater, the 455-seat Kilbourn Hall, and offices for faculty.
The Eastman Theatre opened on September 2, 1922 as a center for music, dance, and silent film with orchestral and organ accompaniment. Today, the 3,094-seat theatre is the primary concert hall for the Eastman School's larger ensembles, including its orchestras, wind ensembles, jazz ensembles, and chorale. Also, the Eastman Opera Theatre presents fully staged operatic productions in the theatre each spring. It also is the principal performance venue for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. A $5 million renovation of the theatre was completed in October 2004. The Theatre is located at 60 Gibbs Street, on the corner of Main and Gibbs Street. Due to a $10 million donation by Eastman Kodak Inc. in April 2008, the Eastman Theatre will officially be renamed "Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre" upon the renovation's completion in 2010.
