2019–20 Lied Across Kansas Artist—Jazzy Ash

November 11–15, 2019

Each season, the Lied Center takes the show on the road to provide free performing arts experiences to other communities in Kansas, like Sabetha, Salina, Russell and Hays. Students, educators and community members in these areas experience the arts in an enhanced way through workshops, performances and conversations with world-class artists.

This season, the Lied Across Kansas artist is Jazzy Ash, a celebrated children’s songwriter and music educator. Inspired by her New Orleans roots and early jazz music, Ash performs fun-filled and educational concerts for kids and adults, teaching audiences about New Orleans music and culture.

The Lied Center of Kansas serves as a catalyst for the arts, creativity, engagement and community building for the University of Kansas and the greater community. The Lied Center presents a series of diverse, world-class performing arts and engages communities with performing arts experiences and opportunities.

2023/24 Our Band—Lied Across Kansas
The Lied Across Kansas program brings world-class artists on tour to small communities throughout Kansas, presenting free, engaging performing arts experiences for students, educators and community members. In the fall 2023 tour, the Americana duo Our Band visited four towns as part of the Lied Center’s newly expanded program: Coldwater, Protection, Jetmore and Greensburg, Kansas. Our Band members Sasha Papernik (vocalist, pianist and accordionist) and Justin Poindexter (guitarist and vocalist) performed for and worked with K–12 students in these communities.
