Located in the Austrian spa town of Baden, the Buehne Baden Theatre hosts a wide array of productions, from plays, operas and musicals to symphony concerts, big bands and rock concerts.

What’s old can be new again, and sometimes, the process is surprisingly straightforward. About a decade ago, Michael Garrison Associates (MGA) developed a leading-edge sound reinforcement system for the 3,000-seat worship center of Southland Christian Church, and they recently just completed an upgrade that’s made a world of difference in terms of performance while being equally notable for its simplicity. Located just outside of Lexington, Kentucky, Southland Christian Church is one of the region’s largest congregations, with an average attendance…
