GLOBAL | LOCAL: Musical Worlds Meet at PS21
Our new season-long series features musicians from across the world and from our backyard. The series examines the intersection of two ideas: the continuing need to open our minds to international art and perspectives, and the growing importance of local community, place, and togetherness in an increasingly decentralized and digitized world. PS21 resides in a hotbed of creativity—the Hudson Valley—and many of its finest musicians will be presented alongside world-class international acts in this summer-long series.
A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times). Our adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists showcase what’s new and thought-provoking in music, contemporary circus, dance, theater—and in entirely new genres. Largely supported by our generous donors, we’re a must-see, must-experience destination for performances that you won’t find anywhere else, at ticket prices that welcome all.
On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, in our Black Box Theater, across our expansive grounds—and in our surrounding communities—PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend boundaries and encourage your expression and participation. Our programming often engages creatively with critical global and social issues: you’ll leave recharged, invigorated, and perhaps thinking differently.
We also host residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators—supporting their development of new, even unclassifiable, work.
A model of innovative theater design, our green-energy spaces are state-of-the-art, and sit atop our 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, woodlands, and trails—all open to the public every day. With the sights and sounds of nature seeping into every Pavilion performance, PS21 offers truly unforgettable experiences and demonstrates our commitment to be open, inviting, and designed for everyone’s enjoyment.
Through our PATHWAYS programs, we bring visionary artists into workshops, classes, installations, and performances on our grounds and into the community—all free of charge or at low cost. PATHWAYS also fosters collaboration between community arts groups and the Town of Chatham—enhancing cultural life in the Hudson Valley.
Extraordinary times require both new art forms and innovative approaches to time-honored disciplines. PS21 is challenging and joyful, of our community and of our world, thought-provoking and magical.
