As a catalyst for the arts, creativity and engagement, it is a core part of the Lied Center’s mission to provide performing arts opportunities and experiences for those who might not otherwise have access. With that goal in mind, the Lied Across Kansas program was developed in 2015. Each season since, the Lied Center has brought one performing artist or group on tour to four arts-underserved communities in Kansas. During the tours, students, educators and community members are able to experience the arts in an enhanced way through workshops, performances and conversations with world-class artists—free of charge.
Sponsored in part by the Sam Mazza Foundation.
Special thanks to the H. Neil Mecaskey, Jr. Foundation for making the very first gift to the Lied Across Kansas Forever endowed fund.
