Boundary-breaking dance company Complexions Contemporary Ballet evolved from the Alvin Ailey dance troupe, where principal dancers Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson realized their choreographic dreams with the birth of a new company in 1994. The world-renowned outfit heads across North America this year!

The frontman of his self-named band, rock artist and producer Ben Folds continues to work with some of the most eclectic names in music and entertainment (remember his Common People cover that featured William Shatner and Bill Clinton?), as well as pushing the envelope on alt-rock ever further. A self-confessed enigma, he prefers to stay out of the limelight except when touring, but can easily claim credit for some of music's most unlikely trends.

Founded in 1980, Mark Morris formed the Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) and is also called "the preeminent modern dance organization of our time" (Yo-Yo Ma). Morris began to create dances based on the popular music of our time and broke away from the other choreographers of his generation. With the use of live music and community engagement as a key component in he dances, his dancers play the role of the orchestra, mimicking the groupings of voices and instruments. Not only that but the Dance group provides educational opportunities for all ages and abilities in dance and music!

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are heading on tour together this fall! They recently announced their first new album since 2020, titled "Woodland," which is set to be released in August 2024 and marks their 10th album together. Making stops in Atlanta, Knoxville, Cincinnati, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and many more, don't miss your chance to see them live!

They writhe over the ground and hurtle through the air. They twine into impossible shapes. They make you laugh with their antic humor and gasp at their eye-popping feats. From Broadway seasons to a landmark performance at the 2002 Winter Olympics, these agile and powerful dancers never fail to entrance. Playful illusionist, mind-boggling acrobats, gravity-defying shape-shifters there is nothing quite like Pilobolus!
