Biographical/Historical note
The Frank M. Moody Music Building is the home of UA’s School of Music and has 105,000 square feet of floor space used for rehearsal rooms, a recital hall, a media center, research labs for music education and therapy, and studios equipped for electronic and computer music among other things.
The building also contains a 1,000-seat concert hall, patterned after the home of the Vienna Philharmonic, and a Holtkamp organ which stands three stories high with four manuals. The flowers, trees, and benches of the building’s large courtyard complete the picture of a modern facility in a graceful setting.
The Moody Music Building is named for Frank Maxwell Moody, an 1897 UA graduate who went on to become a Tuscaloosa banker and dedicated community leader. The building opened in 1988 with a series of concerts that included a performance by Metropolitan Opera soprano Marilyn Horne.
