Free tickets are also issued day of show at the Box Office which opens 2-hours before show time on show days (based on available supplies). \nKing Stingray is a story of lifelong friendship. Growing up together in Yirrkala North-East Arnhem Land (a very remote Aboriginal community on in the northern tip of Australia) founding members Theo Dimathaya Burarrwanga(frontman) and Roy Kellaway (guitar) have been playing and making music together for as long as they can remember. Read more about their unique story here. The band blend ancient indigenous melodies (Yolŋu Manikay) with surf\, indie and funk influences to create their unique “Yolŋu surf-rock” sound which has captivated the nation. \nHailed as “one of the most exciting acts in the country today” (NME)\, King Stingray took out triple j’s ‘Unearthed Artist of the Year’ J Award for 2021\, NME Australia’s ‘Best New Act From Australia’ and Rolling Stone Australia’s ‘Best New Artist’ award all before an album was released. Their much-anticipated debut LP ‘King Stingray’ dropped in August 2022\, supported by a typically cheeky campaign encouraging fans to take #kingstingday off to celebrate the album’s release. The band was nominated for a whopping five ARIA Awards (including a win for the ‘Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist’). In 2023 the band won the ‘Australian Music Prize. A total of five singles from the album made itinto triple j’s Hottest 100 making it the second most successful Aussie debuts in the history of the countdown. \nWith 2 albums under their belt now on the live front\, the band hasn’t missed a beat. They’ve toured all around the country playing all the major festivals such as Splendour in the Grass\, Falls and Spilt Milk to name a few. They supported Midnight Oil on their national stadium tour and performed before more than 100\,000 people at the MCG stadium during the AFL ‘Dreamtime at the G’ match. Every one of their headline tours has sold out entirely. 2024 ended with a 15 date support tour of the US with their mates King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard with and as 2025 is kicking off they are about to perform a massive theatre headline tour right across the country again with their sophomore album ‘For The Dreams’. \nWith fans in every corner of the country\, King Sting have had the opportunity to work on some serious collaborations including one with retail giant Cotton On where a range of eco-friendly King Stingray apparel and accessories were designed and sold in over 280 stores across the country. The band is doing another collab with Cotton On in 2023 that will be launched in the US and parts of Europe and Asia too. In addition to this the band has partnered with surf brand Billabong to launch a massive King Stingray + Billabong clothing range (mens and womens) that was launched in 2024 in the US\, Europe/UK and Japan. They also recorded an epic version of Down Under by Men At Work for Tourism Australia’s Come and Say G’day campaign\, which served as a conduit to their first international trip as a band and anofficial introduction to the rest of the world. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has even championed the band on multiple occasions\, selecting Get Me Out as his favourite song of 2022\, and wearing his King Stingray t-shirt on Aus Music T Shirt Day! \nNME AUSTRALIA – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- “Both a heartfelt tribute to their roots and a bold manifesto for a sprawling future” \nROLLING STONE – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – “Destined to be an instant classic.” \nTHE GUARDIAN: “Most bands would be proud to have a collection like this on a greatest hits album.” \nDAILY TELEGRAPH: “One of the country’s most exciting new acts.” \nTRIPLE J: “feels like an instant Australian classic” \nTHE FADER: “profoundly charismatic” \nThe Levitt Pavilion 2026 Season includes over 50 shows presented free-of-charge (free-ticket shows) – as well as our Stars on Tour paid-ticket series and Gala – to fill your spring\, summer and fall with music\, performing arts and more.

SUMMARY:Harmony : A New Musical | Music by Barry Manilow | Book/Lyrics by Bruce Sussman
DESCRIPTION:September 11 – 27\, 2026 \nHARMONY\nMusic by Barry Manilow\nBook and Lyrics by Bruce Sussman \nHailed by The New York Times as a Critic’s Pick and called “impossible to forget\,” Harmony is a powerful\, sweeping musical that tells the true story of the Comedian Harmonists\, a groundbreaking six-man vocal group who rose from obscurity in 1920s Berlin to become one of the world’s most celebrated musical acts. With irresistible humor\, tight harmonies\, and electrifying stage presence\, they captivated audiences across Europe. Through the eyes of an older Rabbi looking back on his youth\, the musical traces the group’s meteoric rise\, their deep bonds with each other\, and the personal and political forces that ultimately shaped their fate.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Morgan James  Soul Remains Tour
DESCRIPTION:The voice behind 250 million views — live\, and just feet away. \nThere are voices you hear on a recording\, and voices you feel in a room. Morgan James has the latter: a four-octave instrument of vintage soul and modern grit that has drawn more than 250 million views online\, yet reveals its full force only in person. As part of her Soul Remains Tour\, MoCACT brings that voice into the intimacy of our galleries — close enough to catch every nuance of a Broadway-trained powerhouse at the height of her command. \nJuilliard-trained and forged across five original Broadway companies — among them Motown: The Musical and Godspell — James became a viral phenomenon through her work with Postmodern Jukebox before emerging as one of soul and R&B’s most fearless interpreters. Backed by her dynamic band\, she draws on the smoldering ’90s soul of Nobody’s Fool and the horn-fueled rock reinventions of her latest album\, Soul Remains the Same\, bending hyper-masculine anthems to her own will and remaking them entirely — delivered with the conviction of an artist Berry Gordy Jr. personally mentored.

When three-time Grammy winner\, Tony Award–winning Broadway star\, and NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater sits down with Grammy-winning pianist Bill Charlap\, four decades of jazz mastery distill into the most intimate format the music offers: a single voice\, a single piano. In the close quarters of MoCACT’s galleries\, you won’t merely watch their rapport — you’ll feel the telepathy between two artists who finish each other’s phrases. \nBridgewater’s fearless artistry has carried her from the Broadway stage to the world’s great concert halls and a Kennedy Center NEA Jazz Masters honor; Charlap earned his Grammy for The Silver Lining\, his radiant album of Jerome Kern songs with Tony Bennett\, and is revered as one of the most lyrical interpreters of the American Songbook alive. Together they tour behind Elemental — their first duo album and a 2026 Grammy nominee for Best Jazz Vocal Album — reimagining standards with the playful\, soul-deep conversation that comes only from total command of the tradition. An evening of pure craft\, stripped to its essentials.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Calidore String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:In residence at Lincoln Center. This winter\, in our galleries. \nThe string quartet was written for rooms exactly like ours. In residence with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\, the Calidore String Quartet — hailed by The New York Times for its “deep reserves of virtuosity” and praised by The Los Angeles Times for “the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching for” — performs amid the contemporary art of MoCACT’s galleries\, every bow stroke and breath at arm’s length. This is chamber music as it was meant to be heard: four musicians who “speak\, breathe\, think and feel as one” (The Washington Post)\, and an audience close enough to be drawn inside the conversation. \nWinners of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and a BBC Music Magazine Award\, recipients of the $100\,000 M-Prize\, and celebrated for their complete Beethoven cycle at Lincoln Center\, the Calidore spotlight their acclaimed 2026 album American Tapestry — a sweeping survey of the American voice featuring Samuel Barber’s transcendent Adagio\, Wynton Marsalis’s jazz-inflected At the Octoroon Balls\, and the world-premiere quartet version of John Williams’s “With Malice Toward None\,” arranged by the composer himself.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Jasper String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:One of America’s most celebrated quartets — and its most imaginative. \nA great quartet doesn’t just play the notes — it makes you hear why they matter. The Jasper String Quartet\, praised by Gramophone as “flawless in ensemble and intonation\, expressively assured and beautifully balanced\,” has built its reputation on programs that connect the great canon to the living composers shaping music right now. In MoCACT’s galleries\, surrounded by contemporary art and seated steps from the players\, you’ll experience that artistry the way it lands best: up close\, where the drama is impossible to miss. \nRecipients of Chamber Music America’s prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award\, the Jasper String Quartet was named CMA’s 2025 Album of the Year for Insects and Machines: Quartets of Vivian Fung — music The Strad called “sonically delightful and expressively compelling.” At this performance\, they preview their 2026 release Lamenting Earth\, a luminous meditation on humanity and the natural world. Expect an evening as intellectually alive as it is profoundly moving — the work of one of the preeminent American quartets of the twenty-first century.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Time for Three
DESCRIPTION:“Simply put\, they’re a knockout.” — Sir Simon Rattle \nForget what you expect from a string trio. Grammy- and Emmy-winning Time for Three defies convention\, merging classical virtuosity with Americana and singer-songwriter craft into a sound entirely its own — three classically trained musicians who\, as the Chicago Sun-Times put it\, “look and act more like an indie rock band.” From Carnegie Hall to MoCACT’s galleries\, violinists Nicolas Kendall and Charles Yang and bassist Ranaan Meyer play and sing with an infectious joy that turns a concert into an event — and in a room this intimate\, you’re not so much in the audience as in the band. \nTheir album Letters for the Future\, recorded with The Philadelphia Orchestra\, won the Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo and reached the Billboard classical top 10. Fresh from the world premiere of Emily – No Prisoner Be with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato\, the trio brings its virtuosity\, original songwriting\, and bold reimaginings to Westport for an evening of pure\, exhilarating artistry.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Kate Kortum
DESCRIPTION:One of the finest jazz voices of her generation. \nKate Kortum is one of the most acclaimed young vocalists in jazz today. At just 24\, she has already performed with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra alongside Wynton Marsalis and won the 2025 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition — jazz’s most prestigious vocal prize. MoCACT’s galleries are the ideal place to hear her: an intimate room where Kortum’s warm\, story-driveMoCAn phrasing and easy swing land with the immediacy of a great late-night set. \nA Juilliard graduate who has also sung at the Newport Jazz Festival and Birdland\, Kortum blends bebop agility\, blues feeling\, and theatrical flair into something entirely her own. With her standout band she performs music from her acclaimed debut Good Woman and her bold 2025 release Wild Woman\, reclaiming and reimagining the Great American Songbook through a distinctly modern\, female lens.
