Lively Arts Series

We make the connection to great artistic performances, stimulating lectures, and stunning exhibitions. The Lively Arts Series is Montgomery County’s cultural treasure. The arts are at the center of our campus renewal with the completion of the new Fine Arts Center and the performing arts wing of the Science Center housing a new black box theater. We have created the context for a cultural renaissance that continues to make the connection with both our students and the community. This season we explore the passion and rhythm of Latin Jazz with Sabor Latino: A Caribbean Journey featuring some of the most compelling and legendary artists performing today including the great Paquito D’Rivera. Our traditional and “straight ahead” jazz audience won’t be disappointed with the performances of the noted jazz violinist Regina Carter and guitarist Pat Martino. Dance has become a staple of our series and we will present some of the nation’s hottest and most innovative companies: Rennie Harris Puremovement, Koresh, and AXIS Dance Company. Classical music lovers will enjoy the Marion Anderson String Quartet and the America's Dream Chamber Artists along with our outstanding Choral Society of Montgomery County. Finally, we will host a major residency and performance of Actors From the London Stage who will perform Shakespeare’s King Lear! The Lively Arts Series is the context for the connection to outstanding cultural experiences. Join us!
