CENTER ANNUAL PARTNERS

We’re so pleased to welcome our patrons to the Center for the Performing Arts for the 2022-2023 Center Presents Season in partnership with Allied Solutions.

As you may have heard, this season is the most robust and diverse in the Center’s history, with more than 50 performances already on the calendar and more to come. In September and October alone, our mainstage concerts range from the blues of Jimmie Vaughan to the funk and soul of Trombone Shorty and Tower of Power to classical forays with violinist Joshua Bell and the Baroque orchestra Europa Galante.

We also have comedy from Lewis Black and My Name Is NOT Mom, West African sounds from Angelique Kidjo, the genre-bending mashups of Postmodern Jukebox, family fun with the Queen's Cartoonists, and the legendary Johnny Mathis celebrating 66 years in show business. The jazz offerings this fall include Diana Krall, trumpeter Herb Alpert with his vocalist wife Lani Hall, and a co-headlined evening with singers Madeleine Peyroux and Paula Cole, which you can read about in the cover story on Page 6.

Special thanks to all of our community partners, sponsors and volunteers, and thanks to you for supporting us with your donations and ticket purchases. When purchasing, please remember: To ensure that you are getting legitimate tickets at the most reasonable prices, always buy directly through TheCenterPresents.org, the Fifth Third Bank Box Office at the Palladium or by phone at (317) 843-3800.

A new premium seating option this season is the ability to purchase an entire suite at the Palladium for up to 10 guests to enjoy a Center Presents performance, all for one set price with no additional ticket fees. The Suite Experience is a great way to entertain clients, reward employees or treat friends and family to a special occasion, with a package that also includes valet parking, a complimentary bottle of wine and the opportunity to pre-purchase other beverages and food.
