We’re excited to share a new video series of conversations between Lied Center staff members and world-renown artists and performing arts leaders.

From members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis about the making of the “Rock Chalk Suite” honoring Kansas Jayhawks basketball legends, to author and producer André Kimo Stone Guess about staying positive and productive during our global crisis, these conversations are engaging, enlightening and educational.

Lied Across Kansas artists—LIEDership Conversations

Performing artists Erik Kaiel, Paige Hernandez and Ashli St. Armant talk about their experiences with, and the impact of, the Lied Across Kansas program.

Developed in 2015, the Lied Across Kansas program 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.

Volunteer ushers—LIEDership Conversation

Mary-Nell and Mark Gleeson have been ushers at the Lied Center since 2014 and 2015. In April – which is National Volunteer Month! – they had a conversation with Kate Lorenz, events and audience services director, about their favorite Lied Center experiences. Mary-Nell and Mark provide an interesting and entertaining perspective… whether you are a long-time Lied volunteer, a prospective usher, or someone who has never considered it but would be a fabulous addition to our crew! Thank you so much to all of our fantastic ushers.
