FROM THE DIRECTOR

pening Nights at Florida State University is excited to bring the very best performing arts, music, dance, comedy, literature and visual arts to our campus and community. The second half of the 2023–24 season features critically acclaimed, award-winning artists and something for everyone in your family to love. Rock n’ roll legend Elvis Costello and the Imposters will kick off Tallahassee’s bicentennial year at Ruby Diamond Concert Hall. The season continues with Canadian guitar maestro Jesse Cook and his flamenco jazz fusion style, followed by contemporary chamber orchestra Delirium Musicum. Legendary astrophysicist Dr. Neil de Grasse Tyson wraps up the month. February will feature performances with classical crossover artists Sons of Serendip at Turner Auditorium, followed by the show stopping Simon & Garfunkel Story. Dance enthusiasts will be delighted by Complexions Contemporary Ballet and the world- renowned Vienna Boys Choir. The Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra and Opening Nights will celebrate the music of the Beatles. And if that weren’t enough, GRAMMY® nominated Ruthie Foster will deliver a Texas blues show you do not want to miss. In March, the lineup continues with the best in music and stage beginning with Pink Martini, featuring China Forbes. Jazz at Lincoln Center takes center stage at The Moon with Sing and Swing, featuring renowned jazz artists Bria Skonberg and Benny Benack. Stage and screen legend Mandy Patinkin and award- winning author Jesmyn Ward will also perform. Emerging bluegrass artists Damn Tall
Building will put on a show at Goodwood Museum and Gardens. Finally, April brings multiple collaborations for the visual arts, music education, community outreach and family programs. The month kicks off with seven-time Grammy® Award winner Terence Blanchard with the E-Collective and the Turtle Island Quartet, a special partnership event with the FSU College of Music. April continues with our annual collaboration with the Chain of Parks Art Festival. Dean Mitchell is the featured artist this year. A partnership with Word of South will bring Rising Appalachia to town for a free community concert. Opening Nights will conclude its 2023–24 season with the iconic folk duo Indigo Girls on May 1. I cannot think of a better time and opportunity to become a member of Opening Nights and to show your support of our mission to present exceptional artists. These performances create a thriving cultural life in our community and create priceless educational experiences on campus and throughout the community. Ask any Opening Nights associate about these philanthropic opportunities. Thank you for sharing our season with us. We look forward to many more outstanding performances coming your way in 2024, Tallahassee’s bicentennial year.
