The Ferst Center for the Arts, located in the heart of the Georgia Tech campus, was conceived as a brilliant showcase for the presentation of concerts, recitals, lectures, dance, film and theater. This state-of-the-art facility housing an intimate 1,155 seat auditorium featuring a proscenium stage, orchestra pit, and theatrical lighting and sound systems, is designed to provide a wealth of diverse and enriching opportunities for both the Georgia Tech and the greater Atlanta community.

The Ferst Center programs an outstanding season of music, theatre, dance, and opera performances from September to May. The wide selection of musical genres includes jazz, classical, blues, bluegrass, folk, and pop. In addition, the center is home to several Atlanta performing arts companies that present all or most of their season at the Ferst: Ballethnic Dance Company and the Atlanta Gay Men’s Chorus. The Georgia Tech Music Department performs several concerts at the Ferst Center throughout the year. DramaTech, the campus theatre group that has its own performance space, performs one show at the Ferst Center each spring. Tickets to all events at the Ferst Center are sold through the Ferst Center Box Office at 404-894-9600.
