The Carmel Center for Performing Arts announced plans to celebrate it's grand opening week. The festivities begin with a public celebration and ceremonial ribbon cutting January 22nd.

The celebration week will include a gala and concert featuring artistic director Michael Feinstein.

"What we're seeing here at the Palladium is a dream, a dream in the process of becoming reality and most importantly it's a shared dream," said Feinstein.

The Palladium will also be home to Feinstein's Great American Songbook Collection, acting as a museum and education center by day and a concert venue by night.
