Cheers to a new year and new beginnings!
We’re thrilled to bring free live music to ten additional cities in 2015! Underused public spaces across the country, like this vacant gravel lot in downtown Middlesboro, KY, will be given new life and transformed into thriving community hubs before the year comes to a close. Congrats, again, to the recipients of the first-ever Levitt AMP [Your City] Grant Awards! We can’t wait to see your projects unfold.
All too often, high caliber art comes with a high price tag.
In this Faces of Levitt video, Ann Ward challenges us to take a hard look at arts access: “Just think, a family of four, a regular concert’s price of a ticket usually is $50 or $60. Who can afford that?”
Here at Levitt we believe that arts access isn’t a luxury, but a basic human need and a vital component of healthy communities. Studies continue to reveal the positive effects of the arts on our individual wellbeing and the cities in which we live. Shouldn’t everyone get to experience those positive effects? Continue reading
This season has the tendency to get a wee bit chaotic.
Finding that perfect gift…
Preparing that memorable meal…
Making it to that holiday party on time…
It’s easy to lose track of what this joyous season is all about! Continue reading
There’s a lot of movin’ and shakin’ at Levitt concerts. At any given show you’re bound to spot heads bobbing, toes tapping and, of course, some dancing divas (and divos) transforming any stretch of lawn they can find into their own personal dance floors. Young Jack Tracy would definitely be in this last category. Continue reading
Drumroll please…
The votes have been tallied and the review process has come to an end. The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived!
Today Levitt Pavilions and the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation awarded $250,000 in matching funds to 10 nonprofits serving small to mid-sized cities across America to present free outdoor concerts as part of the first-ever Levitt AMP [Your City] Grant Awards. A new chapter of Levitt history has begun!
Wonder how these pirates got to be so jolly? Why, they aaaaaare at a Levitt concert, of course!
Wishing you a month filled with holly jolly roger cheer!
It’s #GivingTuesday, a global day of charitable giving and a chance to be #UNselfie!
ARE YOU READY TO GET YOUR GIVE ON? Continue reading
‘Tis the season for friends and feasts! Wishing you a week filled with delicious food, festive music, excellent company and a heaping side of gratitude!
Here we are yet again, with November in full swing and Thanksgiving just around the corner. Once again we are savoring the changing seasons and finding ourselves feeling grateful for all the year has brought. This brings us to the topic of today’s In Their Own Words post:
Gratitude.
Some suggest that the secret to happiness is, in fact, gratitude. Perhaps this is why Liz Levitt Hirsch, Levitt Pavilions’ vibrant and visionary founder and board chair, always seems to have a smile on her face and a kind word to offer those around her. Earlier today I had the pleasure of chatting with Liz, who shared a few words of gratitude about two people near and dear to her heart, two people who have given so much to so many: Mortimer and Mimi Levitt.

We’re grateful this day and EVERY day for all of the veterans and men and women currently in uniform who have bravely served our country. Thank you for protecting and preserving the basic freedoms that we all too often take for granted—like the simple yet profound freedom to gather in public spaces and exchange ideas and music.
