Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth was funded by the philanthropists Nancy Lee and Perry Richardson Bass after a suggestion from the pianist Van Cliburn. The infobox lists Schwarz Architects and HKS Architects, while the text credits David M. Schwarz of Architectural Services, Inc. Groundbreaking was in April 1995, and it opened on May 1, 1998, at a cost of $65 million.
The exterior is limestone, including Texas limestone for two 48-foot (15 m) facade angels sculpted by Marton Varo. An 80-foot (24 m) dome was painted by Scott and Stuart Gentling. Seating is 2,042 in the infobox and 2,056 in the text. The article states no style.
The adjacent Maddox-Muse Center, from 2001, holds the Van Cliburn Recital Hall and the McDavid Studio. Performing Arts Fort Worth, Inc. owns and operates the hall, which is home to the Fort Worth Symphony, Fort Worth Opera, Texas Ballet Theater and the Van Cliburn Competition.
