As a testament to the importance of green spaces in downtown Los Angeles, the Colburn School has received early and critical philanthropic support for two prominent gardens in our project.

An inspiring commitment from board member Henry Choi and his family has celebrated a vibrant and welcoming Hill Street entrance to our future dance facilities, and, in another perfect pairing, Colburn is honored to name our glorious 7,000 square foot rooftop garden the Mullin Family Garden of Thoughts and Dreams, in honor of Peter and Merle Mullin’s transformative commitment to the project. The Colburn School is thrilled that our entry and rooftop gardens will hold their names and continue their traditions of promoting wellness through their giving.
“It is our family’s hope that this garden serves not only as a sanctuary within the city, but also as an intimate invitation into the life of an artist. A bridge between the School and our community, the garden will allow visitors a look through the campus’s glass walls to see hard work, dedication, and excellence on
