The cultural and performing arts facilities at the University's residential campuses support its strong curricula in the arts, enhance the liberal educational experiences of all of its students and provide cultural enrichment to its community neighbors.
Events range from art exhibitions to jazz concerts to recitals and master classes.
The Institute works to link the professional arts resources of Tilles Center and Hillwood Art Museum with the academic departments, serves as a clearinghouse for information on professional and academic arts activities on campus, and is developing a school partnership program in association with the Lincoln Center Institute. Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, located on the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville, is now in its 20th season. Tilles Center annually presents its own series of world-class entertainment, highlighting classical and popular music, dance, theater and special performances for families and children. On any given weekend, the campus community may enjoy a diversity of performances, from a concert by the New York Philharmonic or the Boston Symphony to a touring Broadway show or the latest stars in cabaret and jazz. This year's season includes performances by such popular artists as Marvin Hamlisch, John Pizzarelli, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Billy Taylor and Dave Brubeck.
