Through Carolina Performing Arts, the University commits to presenting the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz, folk, and world music performers, opera and theater. The Carolina Performing Arts Society has been created to support the University's commitment to invite outstanding professional artists to perform and to teach; to foster a deep appreciation of a wide variety of the performing arts in the University, in the local community, and throughout the state; and to establish Carolina as a national leader in the performing arts. Ticket sales cover only a portion of the total costs incurred by presenting such a series. Support from donors is critical to maintaining the artistic excellence of Carolina Performing Arts, its outreach programs, and student ticket subsidies. In grateful acknowledgement of the support we receive, the Carolina Performing Arts Society extends special privileges to our members. We want to make your Carolina experience richer, more convenient, and more fun! Please join us in sustaining the artistic life of our campus and community.
