Three decades of Modlin Arts Presents programming have made clear one conviction: the performing arts are one of the most honest instruments for confronting what it means to be human. Rather than offering an escape from reality, our programming this season reserves a seat for the current state of the human condition. Featuring returning favorites, long-time collaborators, and visionary works, this season captures the thrill of live performance with a diverse array of talent and disciplines.

Mix and match your own series of performances during the general public subscription package sale now to receive discounts, priority seating, and flexible exchanges! Be sure to mark your calendars for August 3 when individual tickets go on sale. taken in Modlin Center for the Arts by @modlincenter

Our Modlin Arts Presents series celebrates 30 years this season. To mark the occasion and provide something tangible and complimentary for our patrons, we brought the brilliant @brentmccormickdesign into the fold.

Inspired by Reid Miles and the typography-led language of classic Blue Note covers, Brent built our commemorative season poster around a bold 30. When decision time arrived, our team had the impossible task of selecting a colorway—red and deep navy or the tri-color design, as seen here. Why not both? To make good use of the finalists, we’ve opted to keep the red poster version of this design as a Modlin Arts Presents event exclusive.

As you make your way out after a Modlin Arts Presents performance this year, be sure to pick up your red 30th anniversary season poster. We encourage you to share a photo on Instagram of how you end up displaying the poster. Be sure to tag us! taken in Modlin Center for the Arts by @modlincenter

When Modlin and Christian McBride selected Brandee Younger Trio to join us for the Christian McBride Jazz Weekend, we did so knowing how lucky we were to bring high caliber talent to Richmond. @harpista was the first Black woman nominated for the Best Instrumental Composition during the 2022 GRAMMYS and had her original composition “Hortense” featured in the Netflix concert documentary “Beyoncé: Homecoming.”

Knowing this, it’s no surprise Brandee has been granted the opportunity of a lifetime: to go on tour with Stevie Wonder. This is a career defining moment and we at Modlin couldn’t be prouder!

Replacing Brandee Younger Trio was a tall order, but Modlin Arts Presents is thrilled to announce Chief Adjuah will be joining us during the Christian McBride Jazz Weekend on October 25!

Chief Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott) is a five-time Grammy nominated musician, composer, producer, storyteller, chieftain, and innovator. His remarkable musical palette stretches jazz’s conventions to encompass a wide spectrum of musical forms and cultures. @chiefadjuahofficial

Modlin’s Chief Adjuah event is a part of @cultureworksrva’s artoberVA initiative, a Pay-What-You-Will event series celebrating the arts and culture throughout the Richmond and Tri-Cities region! At the checkout for this event, you’ll see a few Pay What You Can “PWYC” options in $5 increments starting at $5. taken in Modlin Center for the Arts by @modlincenter

Violinist Johnny Gandelsman comes to Richmond on September 26 with Johnny Loves Johann, a Modlin co-commissioned work that unites folk-inspired interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites with original choreography performed by John Heginbotham, Jamar Roberts, Melissa Toogood, and Andrea Yorita.

Please join us after the performance for an artist Q&A!

As a reminder, UR students receive free admission to Modlin performances, and UR faculty, staff, and Osher members receive up to two $15 tickets with UR ID.
