Duke staff and faculty can save 15% on Duke Arts Presents performances during the 2023-24 season.

The discount on shows through Duke Arts Presents, an expanded unit previously named Duke Performances, is valid on up to four tickets to all Duke Arts Presents shows except Slumberland, a live virtual reality production that opens the 2023-24 season on Sept. 6 with tickets priced at $10.

“This discount is an invitation to our Duke family to experience the arts with us. We have built our season to offer programming for everyone, and we want to remove any barriers to participation,” said John V. Brown, Vice Provost for the Arts. “We believe in the power of art to build meaningful connections, and we hope that our colleagues will take advantage of this offer to connect with each other and explore together.”

Opening Week between Sept. 6 and Sept. 10 includes 2024 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Terence Blanchard in Page Auditorium, a tribute to Erykah Badu by singer José James, a farewell concert from Emerson String Quartet and more.

Other season highlights include three classical music series, and a two-night celebration of the life and music of Yusuf Salim featuring performances by 2024 NEA Jazz Master saxophonist and educator Gary Bartz, multi-GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Nnenna Freelon, international jazz singer Eve Cornelious, New York-based composer and bassist Rachiim Ausar-Sahu and GRAMMY-winning pianist Chip Crawford and more.

In January 2024, dance and theater company Lost Dog will perform “Juliet and Romeo,” a comedic reimagining of the subjects of Shakespeare’s play had they lived.

Pioneering Black choreographer Dianne McIntyre brings a new work, “In the Same Tongue,” to the stage on Feb. 16 and Feb. 17, using poems by Ntozake Shange and a live jazz quartet to explore the deep rivers of communication in Black American history and culture.

The season ends in April with a jazz weekend headlined by legendary saxophonist Joshua Redman.
