The Performing Arts Center, Purchase College 2025-2026 Season
Experience something real at The Purchase PAC
(Purchase, New York – June 30, 2025) The Performing Arts Center, Purchase College will present their Center Series – a full season of world-class performing arts events – starting in October of 2025. Tickets will go on sale Monday, July 21.
The upcoming professional presenting season will feature a broad range of events that celebrate the incredible inventiveness and diversity of American artists and art forms, and the ideals that have nurtured and sparked such broad-ranging creativity. In addition to the performances themselves, there will be multiple opportunities for creative encounters and audience engagement.
The season will begin on Sunday, October 5 with a concert by the classical-crossover ensemble Vitamin String Quartet, known for being featured on the Netflix hit Bridgerton. The season will run through May of 2026. Highlights include performances by The Branford Marsalis Quartet, Martha Graham Dance Company, Michael Feinstein, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii. Also of note – the first Purchase performance by Cirque Mechanics, a modern circus that finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity, a return visit by dance company Complexions Contemporary Ballet, and a collaboration between choreographer Ephrat Asherie and jazz pianist Arturo O’Farrill. Audiences can also expect three concerts from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, jazz, contemporary dance, film, and many more “extraordinary experiences.”
All performances will take place at The Performing Arts Center, Purchase College, 735 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, NY 10577. The complete season schedule is available to view on The Purchase PAC website at https://www.artscenter.org/events/.
Tickets for Center Series events will go on sale July 21.
