The University of Minnesota Morris announces the 2024–25 Performing Arts Series presented by the Campus Activities Council (CAC). This season features performances by AnnaRose, Ballets with a Twist, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical, and ProMusica Minnesota. 


AnnaRose

Person with long, wavy blonde hair in a black sleeveless top, hand on hip, smiling at the camera against a transparent background.

Saturday, October 5, 7:30 p.m. | Edson Auditorium

AnnaRose, a Las Vegas magician with a touch of Iowa charm, wows crowds with her spellbinding acts at prestigious spots such as the Magic Castle in LA. Her shows in Sin City have earned her accolades, and her magic has graced top TV shows like Masters of Illusion and The Today Show, where her blend of wit, versatility, and audience rapport shine through.


Broadway’s Next Hit Musical 

Six performers, dressed in formal attire with three in tuxedos and three in elegant dresses, striking playful and theatrical poses against a purple background.

Friday, February 21, 7:30 p.m. | Edson Auditorium

Broadway's Next Hit Musical is the ultimate stage showdown where viewers get to play director by tossing in song ideas for "The PHONY Awards." Watch as improvisers work their magic, turning these ideas into award-worthy tunes and crafting an entire impromptu musical around the winning song. Get ready for a wild ride filled with on-the-spot scenes, toe-tapping tunes, dance breaks, laughter, and even a chance for the audience to join in on the fun!
 


 

ProMusica Minnesota

Sunday, March 30, 2 PM | Edson Auditorium
 

ProMusica Minnesota Artistic Director and pianist Bethel Balge returns to Morris with a program of timeless classics plus…a grand tango. Minnesota Orchestra’s Principal Clarinetist Gabriel Campos-Zamora and Associate Principal Cellist Silver Ainomäe join forces with Balge to present traditional fare–trios by Beethoven and Brahm and a heady cocktail–Le Grand Tango by Astor Piazzolla. Piazzolla’s Grand Tango was written in 1982 for cello and piano, melding tango rhythms with jazz-inspired syncopation. Come and experience chamber music at its best!
