Three different shows throughout the building.

The September 8th New York Tenors performance has been canceled and rescheduled for June 8th, 2013.

More information will be available here soon for those of you who currently hold tickets to the originally scheduled performance.

Daniel Rodriguez, "America's Beloved Tenor," came to light during one of the darkest times in our nation's history. This former NYC police officer comforted a grieving nation with his amazing voice in the days following that tragic event. We saw how his gift of music touched people; we have come to know him as a man of courage and compassion. Now touring the world as a full-time professional singer, Daniel's performances continue to uplift and inspire. Joined by The Jesse Lynch Trio and The Highland Divas, Daniel will pay honor to all of our military and first responders with his Spirit of America concert. Join us for an exceptional evening filled with music in a way that only Daniel can deliver.

The notable TV Director/Producer speaks via live satellite about his Hollywood career, the film and tv industries, and his work with Lucy, Cosby, Mary Tyler Moore, and others.

Celebrating 20 years of bringing his beloved Keyboard Conversations series to the Center for the Arts, virtuoso pianist Jeffrey Siegel returns this year with a thrilling program honoring the grand master of Baroque music, Johann Sebastian Bach. Mr. Siegel has captivated both piano aficionados and neophytes alike with his “concerts with commentary” series, in which he illuminates the lives and works of the most famous composers of all time. In this concert, he spotlights this preeminent German composer, performing dramatic, poetic, virtuoso works that Bach wrote to “wow” his listeners — the famous Italian Concerto, the awe inspiring Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, the scintillating Toccata in D Major, and the lively G Major Partita.
