More information on ticket prices and artists is available at www.utpac.org.

Check out a sample of the new season:

Jazz Supreme
The world of jazz is as diverse as the world itself. We will take you through a history of jazz, beginning with Ornette Coleman, the father of experimental “free” jazz, as he shares the textured and enriching form that pushes the envelope. Then experience the extraordinary and beloved marriage of styles from one of the leaders of the Latin jazz movement—Poncho Sanchez. Finally, Kenny Garrett, one of the world’s leading jazz alto saxophonists, rounds out the series.

Leaps and Bounds
Colossal Strength. Incredible Beauty. Trailblazing Innovation. No need to go to New York or abroad to experience the excitement and wonder of the most accomplished dancers in the world. Come see two of history’s most revered dance companies, The American Ballet Theatre and Martha Graham Dance Company, who represent important cornerstones of classical and modern dance.

Voice Power
How do you feel when a single note reverberates through your soul straight through to your heart? That’s what the best vocalists in the world can do. This powerful musical package includes one of the world’s finest sopranos, a celebrated Portuguese songstress; a grand chorus for the holidays; and a beloved blues family.
