Shalin Liu Performance Center Set for a Stunning Refresh

As we proudly celebrate 15 years since the opening of the Shalin Liu Performance Center, Rockport Music is thrilled to announce a transformative refresh of the building's interior spaces—ensuring our venue remains as exceptional as the music it hosts.

To carry out this exciting work, the Shalin Liu Performance Center will be temporarily closed from December 22, 2025, through mid-February 2026. While our doors are temporarily closed, we look forward to presenting a selection of concerts at alternate venues—details will be shared this fall.

This renovation—led by the renowned Boston-based architectural firm Hacin—will breathe new life into key areas of the venue while preserving the integrity and beauty of the concert hall that audiences and artists have come to cherish. Highlights of the refresh include:

• Improved Patron Amenities: Upgraded restroom facilities and thoughtful refinements throughout the building will elevate the overall guest experience and comfort.
• Enhanced Artist Spaces: A redesigned green room will better support the needs of world-class musicians, ensuring their experience behind the scenes matches the excellence they bring to the stage.
• A Reimagined Reception Hall: The beloved third-floor reception area will be revitalized with an inviting new design palette, updated finishes, and a custom-designed bar—offering a more vibrant setting for community gatherings and special events.

With this project, we are building on the legacy of the Shalin Liu Performance Center—ensuring every part of the venue reflects the same high standards of artistry, hospitality, and inspiration that define Rockport Music.

We appreciate your continued support as we take this important step forward. This refresh is a celebration of all that the Shalin Liu Performance Center represents to our community—and a way to ensure that your experience with Rockport Music remains exceptional for years to come.
