About

As our celebration of the 10th season in Shaftman Performance Hall begins, join me in thinking about what this stellar venue has meant to you over the past 10 years.  Maybe there was a moment when you watched your child connect with a great performer.  Maybe there was a moment when you heard a young performer who was on the way up.  Maybe there was a moment when you celebrated that we live in a community with flourishing orchestra and opera companies. Whatever your memories, we invite you to celebrate the opportunity to experience the great art Shaftman Performance Hall has provided to hundreds of thousands of our patrons.

With debut artists and returning audience favorites, our 10th season is the perfect combination of the progressive and the classic. Whether you hope to discover an up and coming star of jazz or want to introduce your children to the energetic acrobats of Asia, there is something for you. After all, we believe that world class artistry should be accessible and relevant. As we continue to ensure that our own young Music Lab students connect with the great artists we feature, we help students imagine that they too will someday sell out Shaftman Performance Hall.  

Diverse audiences and diverse programming. World class art in a great small city.  These are the hallmarks of the Jefferson Center experience. Our sustainability is  a reflection of the impact we have in this community so tell your story about Jefferson Center and tell it widely. Join us once again as we embark on our 10th season, celebrating experiences that resonate and the promise of a truly community centered institution.
