Hill Hall\u2019s auditorium will be renovated and named after former Chancellor James Moeser and his wife, Susan. Hill Hall houses the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u2019s music department.<\/p>\n

Moeser served as the University\u2019s chancellor from 2000 to 2008 and is a renowned organ recitalist, church musician and teacher.\u00a0 Susan Moeser is the University Organist and is a lecturer in the department of music. She earned a doctor of musical arts in organ performance from the University of Kansas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to honor the distinguished service of James and Susan with such a visible and significant symbol of their contributions to the University,\u201d said Karen M. Gil, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n

The new name will be the \u201cJames and Susan Moeser Auditorium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Renovations to the 550-seat auditorium and rotunda are expected to begin in 2015 and take two years to complete.\u00a0 Upgrades will include a climate control system, a state-of-the-art acoustical treatment, a professional grade stage, and a piano and equipment lift.<\/p>\n

Total cost of the renovations is $15 million, with one-third coming from the William R. Kenan Charitable Trust, which launched the project; one-third from the Office of the Provost; and one-third from a special fundraising campaign managed by the Arts and Sciences Foundation. None of the money is coming from state-appropriated funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
