HARMAN Named Official Sound Of Stamford's Palace Theatre

From HARMAN Int'l: HARMAN International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, is bringing modern lighting and sound to The Palace Theatre in Stamford. The historic venue will receive state-of-the-art Martin® lighting and additional JBL®audio equipment, building on multi-year financial and in-kind donations that the company has made in the past.“Most of our stage lighting currently consist of older technology incandescent fixtures – not the LEDs or moving lights required by most touring shows today,” said Michael Moran, Executive Director of The Palace. “We are incredibly grateful to HARMAN for their continued generosity and commitment to bring a new level of lighting and sound quality to our historic venue.”Moran continued, “HARMAN has shown their philanthropic nature and unwavering support of the arts since our relationship with them began back in 2012. At the time, we were renting audio equipment for every performance. From our first meeting, HARMAN knew the impact they could make. They supplied the technicians needed to determine what products would be best suited to our venue.”The Palace negotiated a five-year naming of the stage to be called The Harman Stage in exchange for HARMAN’s 2012 donation. Valued at nearly $700,000, the gift consisted of state-of-the-art JBL, Sound Craft and AKG equipment as well as funds to cover a rebranding initiative. Not only does the sound continue to attract new talent, it also enriches the audience experience and generates operational and energy efficiencies.“HARMAN is very proud to continue our relationship with The Palace, which has become such a valuable and special cultural center for those of us in Stamford and beyond,” said Dinesh C. Paliwal, president and CEO of HARMAN, which is headquartered in Stamford. “With more than 70 years of experience in premium professional and consumer audio, HARMAN is a company of musicians and audiophiles who are committed to enhancing experiences for those who make music and those who appreciate it – from the studio and stage to home and work to mobile, cars and also communities.

We look forward to enjoying many more awesome performances at The Palace.”The Palace Theatre is located at 61 Atlantic Street in Stamford, CT.
