Bromery Center for the Arts - Amherst, Massachusetts

Nick S.

The Bromery Center for the Arts is a large venue space located at UMass Amherst with a concert hall for performances, a museum downstairs, and other viewing areas for other shows.

One of the bigger events that goes on in this venue is Asian Night, hosted by the university's Asian American Student Association. Each year, the event fills up the entire venue, with lots of giveaways both during the show and during the queue to enter the event. The line stretches all the way down to the end of the streets in some years, but the line moves quickly enough for everyone to be seated.

The performances vary each year, with a focus on promoting Asian culture and diversity. They host both performers from the university as well as from all over New England, with performers such as Lion Dance, Diabolo/Chinese yo-yo, Kpop Dance, Bollywood Fusion, Singers, and much more.

They also bring in multiple guest artists to the venue, with previous years having guests such as Rei Ami, Dhruv, Eugene Lee Yang, Hojean, and many more. The venue is a perfect location for these places, as the sound system doesn't interfere with the view and it gives the stage a more professional feeling.

I would highly recommend checking out the events hosted in this venue, especially if you are a new student looking for unforgettable experiences hosted by fellow students on campus.

Nice auditorium but I sure miss the days when they had symphonies and touring plays. The present schedule of performers is disappointing to me personally as an old guy who appreciated the center back when it began in 1970.

Fantastic venue that is well organized and surprisingly large. The venue fit hundreds of people and had very good acoustics. The staff are also friendly and professional. Always a good visit.

The building is beautiful, and they have a lot of fun activities hosted there. I was there for the ballroom team dance lessons provided for free every Monday. The only downside is parking is pretty terrible if you're a commuter. There are maybe 10 spots out back.

Max Richter played live in October, and the UMass Fine Arts Center did a great job of hosting his performance. The auditorium is quite large. The seats are nice. The sound travels well. Overall. The center seems clean. There were refreshments available that were good. The seats are easy to find and access the way the UMass fine arts center was built. I recommend this place for a romantic date night for a good classical concert or dance performance.

Listened to UMass Concert Band. They were very good for being an open, all-school band rather than just being specific to the music department. The balance was good, the dynamics were, for the most part, followed, and no clunkers were obvious. Also, being an old person, i got in for pretty cheap. If you're looking for something to do, this has my recommendation.
