Aronoff Center • Procter & Gamble Hall

a season for all Dear Friends, This season, we joyfully celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Aronoff Center, which first opened its doors in October 1995. The Aronoff was built as a home for the arts in Cincinnati – a place where artists and audiences of all backgrounds can come together to explore, connect, and belong.

The CAA Presents! 2025-26 “Season for All” reflects our commitment to offering performances that spark imagination, bridge generations, and celebrate the richness of global cultures. Whether this is your first visit or you’ve been with us for all thirty years, we are delighted to welcome you. We hope this season inspires new memories while also recalling past experiences that have moved you, challenged you, or stayed with you long after the curtain fell.

Thank you for supporting the arts. Because of you, Cincinnati’s creative spirit continues to grow and flourish. We are so glad you are here.

Enjoy the show,

Steve Loftin President & CEO

Bridget Benton Chief Operating Officer

TWILIGHT

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn’t expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) — a boy who’s hiding a dark secret: he’s a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey.

Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of starcrossed lovers. The film is directed

by Catherine Hardwicke with a screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg; produced by Greg Mooradian, Mark Morgan, Wyck Godfrey; and executive produced by Karen Rosenfelt, Marty Bowen, Guy Oseary, Michelle Imperato Stabile.

The Twilight Saga is one of the most successful young-adult film franchises of all time. The five films (Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Parts 1 & 2) have grossed more than $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office.

The films were adapted from Twilight creator Stephenie Meyer’s acclaimed series of books that won multiple awards, sold over 160 million copies worldwide, and were translated into 49 different languages. Lionsgate’s TV adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel Midnight Sun has been picked up to series at Netflix.

Tonight’s concert offers a unique opportunity for audiences to relive the film that started it all in a cinematic live-to-film experience with a sensational live band.

Musicians will take the stage to perform the beloved film score in perfect synchronization with the original movie, presented in its entirety on a massive cinema screen. Audiences will be completely captivated by the magical atmosphere with more than 1,000 twinkling candles illuminating the grand stage, creating an ambiance that sets the tone for a truly romantic evening.

For more information, tickets, and tour dates, visit www.twilightinconcert.com.

Her upcoming debut album, Portrait of an Unquiet Mind, commissioned

Beyond the concert stage, Shelbie’s credits include Netflix series, HBO Max campaigns, commercials, and award-winning films. She also served as a key collaborator on fundraising projects with Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley, helping raise over $1 million for The Entertainment Community Fund and other organizations.
