Spring 2026 events at the School of Music, Dance and Theatre by ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts

2026 Spring Events

It

is a pleasure

to introduce you to the School of Music, Dance and Theatre’s 2026 spring season!

As one of the top performing arts schools in the nation, the ASU School of Music, Dance and Theatre is paving the way to the future. Each year, we present over 700 concerts, recitals, productions and events ﬁlled with innovative programming, adventurous new creations and world premieres. Our performance season highlights the immense talent of our student artists, world renowned faculty and groundbreaking guest artists.

Each season features dance concerts and events, music theatre and opera productions, theatrical productions, experimental works, world premieres, community festivals, and multiple options suitable for youth and families.

The New Work Lab in Theatre brings student works in progress to the stage. The New Works initiative in Music Theatre and Opera allows our students to showcase forthcoming works, which include regular public workshops with composers and librettists/lyricists in residence and typically involves one new musical and one new opera per year. Dance students regularly create choreographic works that are performed in our Emerging Artists and Transitions Projects series. Many of the pieces in development are through partnerships with professional companies and producing organizations.

Our student ensembles have a long history of excellence. Our four wind bands, six choirs, three jazz ensembles and four orchestras have commissioned and premiered many new works, performed at major state, regional and national conferences and produced a number of recordings. The ASU Sun Devil Athletic Bands are recognized as being among the ﬁnest and most spirited in the nation. Ensembles such as ASU Mariachi, Marimba Maderas de Comitan, Javanese Gamelan, World Percussion and Pan Devils Steel Band offer a rich diversity of performance experiences.

The Sol Motion series includes Sol Power, a celebration of hip hop culture, and Latin Sol, a Latin social dance extravaganza.

Our music performance spaces include the acoustically perfect Katzin Concert Hall, the intimate Recital Hall, a 480-seat Evelyn Smith Music Theatre, the Organ Hall which houses the famous Fritts pipe organ and ASU Gammage, the last great hall designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd. The dance and theatre performance spaces include the 480-seat black-box theatre Paul V. Galvin Playhouse, the 162-seat modiﬁed proscenium Lyceum Theatre, the Margaret Gisolo Dance Theatre and the Nelson Fine Arts Plaza.

We invite you to join us regularly for our live music, dance and theatre performances and hope the experience inspires, uplifts and restores you.
