onStage at Connecticut College - world-class performances within reach

For more than a century, Connecticut College has had a professional guest artists series, and we continue that tradition this year with six performances by ensembles or solo artists in our onStage at Connecticut College series.  As we search for artists each season, we look for performances that are unlike any that can be seen elsewhere in our region. Our series is eclectic and innovative. We look for performances and artists that can be thought-provoking, engaging, entertaining and inspiring.

We are excited to announce our 2024-2025 season! Take a look at the performances below so you don't miss any of these unique experiences, and join our mailing and email lists so you never miss an update on the college’s arts offerings! 

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming performance!
