HELLO

From the Brooks Center

My third season at the Brooks Center was nothing short of spectacular! We enjoyed a year of incredible performances, flawlessly executed by our outstanding professional staff. We also celebrated major milestones, including the conclusion of our 30th season and the completion of exciting projects. As I reflect on the past year, I’m reminded of how truly special the Brooks Center is and how lucky we are to experience world-class performances right in our own backyard. Here are some of my favorite memories from the 2024–2025 season:

• After months of anticipation—navigating construction zones and enduring fancy porta-potties—our stunning new restrooms were finally unveiled. They were absolutely worth the wait!

• My family and I had the unforgettable experience of hearing one of our all-time favorite singers, the jazz sensation Samara Joy. During her Q&A, my 8-year-old son, Sullivan, patiently raised his hand and asked the Grammy winner the most pressing question on his mind: “What’s your favorite animal?”

• The Vitamin String Quartet ended their show with an epic sing-along of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and the audience participated so whole-heartedly that my face hurt from smiling!

• In a heart-stopping moment during a Tri-ART performance with Cirque Kalabanté, the acrobats invited a young boy on stage and asked him to climb onto one of their shoulders. Without hesitation, he did it flawlessly, sending the crowd into a frenzy and my blood pressure through the roof!

• I beamed with pride watching every minute of the outreach workshops led by guest artists like Rodney Marsalis, Chanticleer, and Collage Dance Collective, as talented Clemson students seized the opportunity to shine.

• We had the privilege of hosting the South Carolina Arts Leadership Institute, presented by the South Carolina Arts Commission and the South Carolina Arts Alliance. The three-day conference brought together representatives from over 60 arts and cultural organizations across the state.

• One of the most moving performances of the season was Collage Dance Collective’s signature piece, Rise, a stirring tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With a breathtaking solo by a Clemson dance student who was invited to join the performance, it was such an unforgettable, emotional moment.

• Thanks to generous support from the University, the College of Arts and Humanities, and our 30thanniversary campaign donors, we secured funding to install a much-needed acoustical shell this summer—a game-changer for our space! We will also be getting new furniture for the Brooks Theatre lobby, which will elevate our patron experience even more.

Looking ahead to the coming season, we’re embarking on exciting changes to improve accessibility and increase attendance with a new, more flexible ticket pricing model. Starting this season, ticket prices will vary for each show instead of set a single price. While tiered pricing may take some getting used to, it’s a globally recognized practice that will allow us to offer more affordable tickets to our community. For example, instead of a flat $50 for our season opener, ticket prices now range from $35 to $55. By offering lower-cost options, we aim to welcome more guests, expand our impact, and better achieve our mission to diversify our audiences. To clarify, while this plan means we will generate less ticket revenue from soldout shows, our generous show sponsors and the Friends of the Brooks Center have ensured that even our highest-priced tickets remain at or below market value. Rather than offering our traditional 10% discount, we are embracing this model so that season ticket holders can select the price point that best suits them.

We’re also adjusting our ticket ordering process to help us transition to a new ticketing platform over the summer. To ensure smoother operations, we’ll be processing orders in waves and encouraging more patrons to purchase their tickets online. Please read the ticket ordering information carefully, and of course, our Box Office team is always happy to assist if you should have any questions. We appreciate your patience as we try new strategies!

The Brooks Center has incredible momentum, but like many of our peers, we’re navigating the financial uncertainty currently impacting all of higher education. We’ve made careful adjustments to our budget, all while continuing to deliver the world-class programming you love and expect. Now, more than ever, we need your support. By contributing to the Friends of the Brooks Center, you will help sustain our mission and ensure that the performing arts continue to thrive in our community, no matter the obstacles ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the thrilling 2025–2026 season ahead! You’ll find a diverse lineup of performances spanning a wide range of interests, with even more family-friendly programming and a little something for everyone. I’m particularly excited to welcome the types of acts that we haven’t hosted in years, like the mesmerizing magician, Jeki Yoo, and the hilarious improv comedy show, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical. With our new lower ticket prices, I hope you’ll bring your friends and family and make this season one to remember.

BONI BELLE BROOKS

Series

Named for the daughter of benefactor Robert H. Brooks, the Boni Belle Brooks Series is our signature season lineup, featuring noteworthy and emerging artists from a variety of genres.

Casually confident, professional, cerebral, and supercharged with energy. The Branford Marsalis Quartet…was all of those adjectives and more.”

NEA Jazz Master and three-time GRAMMY-winning artist

Thursday, September 18, 2025 // 7:30 p.m.

Tickets from $35

Sponsored by the Ruth B. Wood Foundation

The Branford Marsalis Quartet brings the Belonging Tour to Clemson to kick off the Brooks Center's 2025–2026 season. Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, GRAMMY Award winner and Tony Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. This celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After the GRAMMY-nominated Upward Spiral, on which guest vocalist Kurt Elling was seamlessly integrated into the group, the Quartet followed up with the GRAMMY-nominated album The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, its most emotionally wideranging and melody-driven collection to date. This spring, the Quartet made its Blue Note Records debut with the release of Belonging, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett’s 1974 ECM album of the same name.

UTSEY CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES

Always world class. Always free.

Now in its 39th season, the Lillian and Robert Utsey Chamber Music Series offers outstanding chamber music experiences to the Clemson community at no cost. Established in 1986 by Brooks Center Director Emerita Lillian “Mickey” Utsey Harder and her husband Byron, in memory of her parents, the Utsey Series has presented 178 free concerts. Additionally, over 35 million people have heard 136 radio broadcasts on American Public Media’s Performance Today. Some of the Utsey Series’ past performers include Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, clarinetist Anthony McGill, pianist Lang Lang, and harpist Bridget Kibbey. As part of its commitment to reaching audiences of all ages and socioeconomic levels, the Utsey Series has also offered 81 free daytime concerts for school-aged children in the Eskridge Tri-ART Series. In 2007, in collaboration with Clemson University, the Utsey Series received the prestigious Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Governor’s Award for the Arts from the South Carolina Arts Commission, the highest award given in the state for artistic achievement.

LOEFFLER’S FORGOTTEN OCTET

Tuesday, September 30, 2025 // 7:30 p.m.

In 2020, clarinetist Graeme Steele Johnson discovered the unpublished manuscript of a forgotten, 127-year-old octet by Boston-based composer Charles Martin Loeffler (1861–1935) in the archives of the Library of Congress. Johnson spent a year reconstructing the octet’s score from the 75-page manuscript, creating the first critical edition of the music which will be performed by a stellar lineup of soloists. Scored for two clarinets, harp, two violins, viola, cello and double bass, the project was profiled in a full-page spread in the Washington Post, named BBC Music Magazine’s “Chamber Choice,” as well as one of the “Best Classical Albums of 2024” by The New York Times, Gramophone, Apple Music, The Times and Tidal

TRIO ZIMBALIST

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 // 7:30 p.m.

Members of Trio Zimbalist—violinist Josef Špaček, cellist Timotheos Gavriilidis-Petrin, and pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu—are all distinguished alumni of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. In demand across Europe and the U.S. as soloists, chamber musicians and recitalists, the musicians form an inimitable ensemble with repertoire spanning Romantic masterworks to today’s most lauded composers. The program will include Beethoven’s beloved Piano Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 97 (“Archduke”).

*Q&A following the performance, open to the public

SEPTURA

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 // 7:30 p.m.

Ensemble in residence at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Septura brings together the best brass players in the UK—holding principal positions in the Royal Philharmonic, London Symphony, BBC Symphony and Philharmonia orchestras. With unparalleled skill and virtuosity, the musicians have forged a chamber group described as “dazzingly polished” (BBC Music Magazine), now firmly established as one of the best in the world. Exploring a great transatlantic relationship, the septet charts a course from Debussy’s Préludes through Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite, to Gershwin’s Preludes and his iconic An American in Paris, arranged for brass and solo car-horns.

CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER

Thursday, March 5, 2026 // 7:30 p.m.

Wind quintets, a standard combination in the chamber music genre, have the challenge, as well as the benefits, of bringing together five distinct instruments to explore multiple blends of timbres. World class musicians in the CMSLC will perform August Klughardt’s Quintet in C Major, Op. 79, a beautiful example of great writing for each of the five instruments. The addition of piano in Louise Farrenc’s Sextet in C Minor, Op. 40 provides expanded sonic dimensions and is a tour de force for the pianist. The program is balanced with smaller combinations featuring double reeds, the regal sound of the horn and upper winds.

RIDE THE CYCLONE

Music, Book and Lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell

Directed by Becky Becker

Musical Direction by Luke Browder

Antigone, defying her uncle Creon’s decree that her brother should remain unburied, challenges the morality of human’s law overruling the laws of the gods. The clash between her and Creon with its tragic consequences has inspired continual reinterpretation. This translation by Don Taylor, accurate yet poetic, was made for a BBC TV production of the Theban Plays in 1986, which he directed.

Bellamy Theatre

$15 Adults // $10 Students

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other—the chance to return to life. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, is sent to court a countess and falls hard for a Duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process.

DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE

Directed by Kerrie Seymour by Sarah Ruhl

Brooks Theatre

$15 Adults // $10 Students

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man—with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead—and how that remembering changes us—it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.
