New director breathes life into Music Hall

Music Hall recently announced its most ambitious performance schedule in years, buoyed by a new board and the energy of Vince Paul, its newly-hired artistic director. With a strong focus on jazz and dance, Music Hall is aiming to  broaden its appeal to both audiences and funders.

Excerpt from article:

In an interview last week in his office, Paul frequently got so wound up describing his love for Music Hall's well-preserved 1928 bones and his plans for new artistic products, an interactive Web site and marketing ideas emphasizing a cutting-edge vibe, that he leapt out of his seat and began pacing. "If you make it cool, make it hip, people will come," he said.
