SR Bales Construction: Like Family at the PAC

by Jayna Combs

Director of Development and Marketing

The SR Bales crew is in the house! Or, I should say, on the Atwood Concert Hall stage. They just completed their portion of the Acoustic Project as our general contractor. SR Bales donated all of their labor in-kind. We are extremely grateful to them for their work on this important project for the Center, musicians, singers and patrons alike. SR Bales has worked on many projects here at the Center, including the new pit lift for the Atwood stage, the construction of the Voth Hall and, now, the Acoustic Project. 

Steve Bales said, “We love working on projects here at the PAC; we know that our work is helping to bring performing arts to Anchorage, and we get to benefit from it, too, by seeing great shows here with our families.”

Thank you to SR Bales and all of the generous donors who are helping
to make the Acoustic Project a reality!

Carlile trucks will roll onto the loading dock tonight with delivery of the new Atwood acoustic shell. The crews will use the next two months to rig, assemble, commission and tune not only the Atwood shell, but, also, the newly retrofitted Discovery Theatre shell that has been used on the Atwood stage for the last 25 years. On September 27th, everyone’s hard work will be rewarded! The Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, featuring preeminent Russian pianist Olga Kern, will unveil the new Atwood acoustic shell. The retrofitted Discovery shell will be unveiled at the December Alaska Youth Orchestras concert. We hope you will join us in celebrating this new gift to the performing arts community this fall!
