In this story

Teaching and performance in one plan

Longwood’s July 16, 2026 announcement describes Whitehead Hall as a music education building planned for Farmville. The university expects more than 60,000 square feet of space, including teaching and rehearsal rooms and a 500-seat concert hall with adjustable acoustics.

A future community connection

The plan connects student and faculty performances with community access. Its expected completion is fall 2028.

That is a dated project forecast, not confirmation of an operating hall, available tickets or a current performance calendar.
