The McKnight Center for the Performing Arts announced its 2022-2023 season Friday, which includes an impressive slate of performances by the New York Philharmonic, famous blues guitarist Buddy Guy, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and more.
The performing arts center’s fourth season kicks off in September 2022 with country artist Sara Evans and concludes in April 2023 with a solo concert by the award-winning star of Broadway’s Hamilton, Renée Elise Goldsberry. Other noteworthy performances include the 5th Annual Chamber Music Festival, Legally Blonde – The Musical, the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra, and holiday favorite, Elf In Concert with the Tulsa Symphony.
“It’s thrilling each year to curate a season that includes legendary artists and new stars,” said Mark Blakeman, The McKnight Center’s Marilynn and Carl Thoma executive director. “We’re bringing in Buddy Guy, regarded as the reigning patriarch of blues, celebrating the legacy of music director Riccardo Muti as he conducts his final season with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and welcoming Jamie Bernstein and guest musicians to the stage to delve into the life of one of the most influential figures in American classical music, Leonard Bernstein.”
