Where Does the Symphony Perform?
Swasey Chapel 200 Chapel Drive, Dennison University, Granville, OH 43023
Swasey Chapel was the first building in the ambitious "Greater Denison" plan of 1917 created by architects Ernest Flagg, Arnold Brunner and the firm of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, renowned for his design of New York City's Central Park. The chapel was named in honor of Dr. Ambrose Swasey who funded its construction and also the brick chapel walk. The chimes in the chapel tower are a memorial to his wife, Mrs. Lavinia Marston Swasey. Today, the chapel is used for religious services, all-college convocations and world-class musical performances.

Midland Theatre 36 N Park Place PO Box 550 Newark, OH 43058 740-345-5483
After opening its doors on December 20, 1928, the Midland Theatre served the community of Newark, Ohio, for 50 years primarily as a movie theater, until it closed in 1978. In need of repairs, it was purchased by Dave Longaberger and The Longaberger Company in 1992, and after an 8-year, $8.5 million renovation, the Midland opened again in 2000. Longaberger entrusted the property to The Newark Midland Theatre Association. Today, along with the many national acts hosted at the Midland, it is among the homes of the Newark-Granville Symphony Orchestra.
