Hello & Happy New Year!
With the holidays behind us, we are now halfway through
our 2016-17 season—can you believe it? at means
we're getting close to some of the shows I'm most excit-
ed about: the bright and energetic musical FELA: THE
CONCERT, glamorous and sophisticated music of PINK
MARTINI, and the visually stunning dance of MOMIX.
A new year is an opportunity to reflect on where we've
come and why we do what we do. As a community gather-
ing place, building bridges between cultures and commu-
nities is at the heart of the Long Center's mission. We see
the arts as more than just entertainment—they're about
what makes us human. We are reminded of the good to
be found in each other as we see through the eyes of artists
and performers, and we take that experience with us every
time we leave here to return home to our neighborhoods
and communities.
Next time you see me around, please stop and say hello—I
look forward to seeing you!
Kindest Regards,
Cory Baker
President & CEO
