Lied Center Announces Spring 2021 Season
The Lied Center for Performing Arts (liedcenter.org) is presenting one of the most diverse programs of events in the nation this spring, featuring the world’s top artists. Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all spring season events will feature both in-person and virtual attendance options. From Tony Award-winning Broadway stars to virtuosic musicians and headline entertainment, the Lied Center’s 2021 Spring Season provides something for everyone in a time when the arts are needed more than ever.
Season highlights include the Lied Center debut of the virtuosic Silkroad Ensemble (founded by Yo-Yo Ma) on April 15, the return of GRAMMY Award-winner Chris Thile on March 24, and a special online concert for Lied audiences with the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra on March 20. Broadway star and Tony Award®-winner Kelli O’Hara will perform at the Lied on June 12, and comedy superstar Paula Poundstone returns on July 24. Including the previously announced Lied Live Online series of concerts, more than two dozen separate events are coming to the Lied this spring.
Through continued collaboration with the Lincoln/Lancaster County Health Department and the University of Nebraska, all shows with in-person audiences will feature socially distanced seating, and masks are required inside the Lied Center. Since the Lied Center reopened to the public in July of 2020, dozens of events welcoming thousands of patrons have been presented safely
