Kauffman Center Presents provides a fantastic opportunity to see many of the world’s best musicians and performers live. We also bring artists and speakers from other points on the artistic spectrum.

Since 2011, we have hosted authors, comedians, live game shows and family-friendly events. Our Trailblazing Talks speaker series features experts from multiple fields, including photography, journalism, oceanography, art history and more.

The Kauffman Center Presents series has featured musical artists as eclectic and diverse as Aretha Franklin, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Alice Cooper and the Vienna Boys Choir. Other events include comedy legends John Cleese and Lily Tomlin; composers Philip Glass and David Foster; tribute bands Happy Together and Floyd Nation; children’s stage shows Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Live! and Bluey’s Big Play; and illusion shows like Champions of Magic.
