CPA already is selling series subscription packages. The six series are dance, roots, jazz, world, classical ensembles and classical recitals.
Prices vary with types of performances and seat locations. Single-show tickets range from $10 for UNC students with UNC One Cards (all performances) to $109 for the best seats for Mary Chapin Carpenter on Oct. 18. (Tickets of $54, $74 and $84 also are available for that concert.)
The season will begin with two performances, Sept. 7 and Sept. 8, by one of Europe’s most distinguished chamber orchestras, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen of Germany. Next will be rock and gospel singer Mavis Staples and New Orleans pianist Allen Toussaint on Sept. 14.
Sept. 23 will bring a work choreographed by Durham native Hope Boykin, a dancer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, to Memorial Hall. Philadanco, which blends African American-based dance with ballet, jazz and modern, will perform the new work, which CPA commissioned.
