Think about what you feel when the lights go down and the curtain goes up. The thrill of anticipation, curiosity about what is to come. The performance begins. You are transported, everything else recedes, and you are part of a communal moment that is exhilarating, fleeting, and profoundly human.
This is what it means to experience something real.
Our 2026-2027 season will begin on Saturday, October 17 with Jason Neulander’s newest “live-action graphic novel,” Treasure Island Reimagined: Jane Hawkins and the Pirate’s Gold, a totally unique adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic. Highlights include Ballet Hispánico New York’s CARMEN.maquia, Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves paying tribute to John Coltrane, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with violinist Paul Huang. Plus a live performance of the popular podcast Selected Shorts, a return visit by our old friends and audience favorites Black Violin, and a number of collaborative events that will give SUNY Purchase Conservatory students the opportunity to perform with professional touring artists. You will also be able to enjoy four concerts from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, dance performances by Paul Taylor Dance Company and A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, jazz, film, and more.
