Zoellner Arts Center at Lehigh University is considered by artists, students, and members of the community to be the finest performing arts center in the Lehigh Valley. Each year, we support and present more than 180 distinctive and diverse events, enjoyed by more than 50,000 students and patrons. Our family, education, and community outreach programs influence thousands of school children, community groups, and others through:
• Free master classes and workshops
• Low-to-no-cost educational performances with professional artists
• Pre-show events featuring local artists
• Specially created programs for families
• Free lecture series with noted national poets,creative writers, and speakers
Your support of this year’s Gala will help fund these wonderful programs. In fact, the annual Gala and generous support from individuals and corporations provide nearly half of Zoellner’s annual operating budget.
Past Galas have included sold-out, memorable concerts with world-class artists including Kristin Chenoweth, Tony Bennett, Yo-Yo Ma, and the Boston Pops, and this year will be no exception. Join us for a memorable evening, complete with a festive reception, dinner, and a fine performance, and make a lasting impact for both the patrons and Zoellner Arts Center.
Zoellner Arts Center’s mission is to captivate and inspire the campus and the community by presenting a variety of vibrant, world-class performing arts events, exhibits, and scholastic events; to develop new audiences and new works of art; and be a welcoming resource in the Lehigh Valley for education, innovation and hosting events in our community.
Funds raised at Gala2014 support the arts at Lehigh University and Zoellner Arts Center’s presentations of world-class guest artists, community service initiatives, and educational and family programs.
