MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Welcome to Bravo!, our overview of Celebrity Series’ 79th season.

This was a season of many highlights, starting in September with the return of Let’s Dance Boston, our fifth public performance project, at which Bostonians of all walks of life enjoyed five nights of free, live music and social dancing on the Greenway.

All season long, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s debut in Boston, presented by Celebrity Series in 1968. Events included a panel discussion at John Hancock Hall in December, a January school residency, two Revelations Celebration community workshops in February, and the annual performance run in March.

The season was filled with great performances with an unprecedented number of artist debuts. We presented the fourth season of Stave Sessions, our mini-festival of new, contemporary artists. We continue to attract new households to our audiences and our donor base grew for a fourth consecutive year. Thanks to your generous support and attendance, Celebrity Series posted another operating surplus.

As another season approaches, we remain deeply grateful to our Board of Directors and Overseers, our donors and audiences, and to all who support the performing arts in Boston.

We look forward to seeing you at a performance this season.

With gratitude,

LIVE PERFORMANCE! ARTS FOR ALL

In the spring of 2018, Celebrity Series announced an exciting campaign to strengthen the organization, catalyze artistic innovation, and deepen community engagement. The LIVE PERFORMANCE! Arts for All campaign aims to raise $23 million in three funds including the Endowment, Innovation, and Annual funds, making an enduring and positive impact on the arts in Boston. The impact will be on the stage, behind the stage, in the audience, and in the community.

“The structure of this campaign is unique and driven by a strategic view of our future. The benefits will accrue not just to current stakeholders and audiences, but to generations to come—so that the impact of Celebrity Series will be felt in Boston and beyond for many years.”

CAMPAIGN DONORS

Celebrity Series gratefully acknowledges the following individuals who have made a donation to the LIVE PERFORMANCE! Arts for All Campaign to support endowment, innovation, and annual operations.
