Lewisville breaks ground for new Symphony home A fanfare from Lewisville Lake Symphony trumpeter Don Burks celebrates the ground breaking for Lewisville’s new Center for the Creative Arts. Mayor Dean Ueckart, city officials and children from the LakeCities Ballet and the Actors’ Conservatory Theatre work the shovels.
Architect Milton Powell (left) had numerous meetings with Symphony Music Director/Conductor Adron Ming during the project's development. Said Adron, "the Symphony had a long list of wishes and all of them found their way into the plans. Acoustics were at the top of our list and that involves half science, half art and half luck. Milton is very focused on creating the right acoustics so our hopes are high." Photos: Ian Cleghorn
