Senior citizens (55+) are invited to join area teachers and their students for a free play reading of select scenes from “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Christopher Sergel’s adaption of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel.

Hablando Huevadas, the viral video podcast that became a Hispanic comedy phenomenon on YouTube, returns to the U.S. this fall. Ricardo Mendoza and Jorge Luna are hitting the road again following their historic 2024 tour where they became the first Spanish-speaking comedians to sell out Madison Square Garden.

The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre’s influence spread, it reached Chicago and birthed Mariachi Herencia de México. The 2x Latin GRAMMY®-nominated band has issued six chart-topping albums and has performed all across the North American continent paving the way for a new generation of mariachi musicians.

Embark on a breathtaking musical journey through the heart of the Romantic era at Enlow Recital Hall. Join Kean faculty artists Alexander Bui (piano) and Rachel Carlson (soprano), alongside distinguished guest artists Gregory Stout (piano), Dylan Hamme (violin), and Elisabeth Chang (cello), for a passionate evening of instrumental mastery. Experience virtuoso piano solos by Chopin and Liszt alongside enchanting art songs by Hahn. The evening also features the rare brilliance of two magnificent 9-foot Steinway & Sons and Fazioli concert grand pianos sharing the stage as dynamic piano duos deliver a thrilling suite of dances by Arensky, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Piazzolla, before culminating in Mendelssohn’s spectacular, dramatic piano trio.

The current cast members of the Emmy®-nominated TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway? are proud to present their new improv tour: WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY?

Born in Mozambique and raised in Mouraria, one of Lisbon’s most historic neighborhoods, Mariza grew up surrounded by the voices, guitars, and traditions of fado. From an early age, she embraced that legacy and transformed it into a universal language, becoming the most acclaimed Portuguese artist in the world.

The music lives on.
