Arthur Zankel Music CenterSince opening in 2010, the Arthur Zankel Music Center at Skidmore College has served as a gateway building for the campus. The center boasts approximately 54,000 square feet of teaching, practice, performance, and adminis-trative space- including the 600-seat, acousti-cally tuned Helen Filene Ladd Concert Hall and the 75- seat Elisabeth Luce Moore Hall- and has become a hub of musical activity, hosting re-nowned visiting artists and student performers, including a number of the area’s best-known performing groups.

The center is named in memory of Arthur Zankel, a fi nancier and philanthropist who was a Skidmore trustee, parent, and longtime sup-porter. His bequest to Skidmore of $46 million is the largest gift in the college’s history. Of the bequest, $15 million went to the Zankel Music Center.

Support ZankelSkidmore welcomes the support from alumni, parents, and friends to enhance the operations of the Zankel Music Center. When you name a seat in the Helen Filene Ladd Concert Hall, an inscribed plate will be permanently attached to it, creating a lasting legacy in your name, in the name of a friend or faculty member, in some-one’s memory, or in recognition of a company or organization. Gifts of $3,000- $15,000 will name a seat in various locations within the hall. For more information on supporting Zankel, please call Skidmore’s Advancement Offi ce at 518.580.5660.
