University Concert Series

University Concert Series The mission of the University Concert Series is to present a diversity of performances that educate, engage, and entertain the communities we serve.

For more than 100 years, the University Concert Series at Mizzou has inspired and entertained mid-Missouri with global performances, Broadway classics, local acts and more. Core Value:
To promote accessibility of live performances by means of affordability, public involvement and community engagement. To support the University of Missouri’s mission of lifelong learning through educational outreach

and partnerships within the community and campus. To practice good stewardship of our resources with integrity, judiciousness and accountability in the interests of the University of Missouri and Community Stakeholders. For over 100 years, the University Concert Series has brought some of the best entertainment in the world to the MU campus to perform in front of the citizens of Columbia, students of the colleges, and visitors from every part of the world. It is a proud tradition that includes names like Itzhak Perlman, The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Willie Nelson, Smoky Robinson, and on and on. Truly nobody brings such a diverse array of talent to the area like the University Concert Series. And now, we have even more chances to entertain our great concertgoers. With the recent acquisition of the Missouri Theatre, the University Concert Series is in the unique and fortunate position to bring more shows, better shows, and to pair them in venues that are some of the best in the area. During the upcoming seasons, you’ll notice a lot of great changes to the Concert Series, ones that we hope you will embrace and appreciate as we push to make our second 100 years as good as the first. If you have any questions about what we do, or comments on how we can make the Concert Series better, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
