The Center for the Performing Arts Concerts 2025

The Center for the Performing Arts is simply the most gorgeous, well-maintained, acoustically tuned, and grand performance venue I've ever seen. Featuring the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. 🎭 This state of the art facility is modeled after traditional European architecture on the outside. On the inside, the Palladium contains special glass panels that the stage crew can adjust to better reflect the sound waves coming from the stage. This means that, no matter where you're sitting in the audience, you can hear every detail and color of the performance. The south lobby features a wonderful bar, where you can sip on the fanciest drinks, and take your drinks into the concert hall! The bartender also mixes an excellent Coca-Cola with freshly squeezed slices of lime! The interior design is clever as well! The men's room has bass clefs on the floor tiling, for those who get the reference. But that's not all! Across the Carter Green, there's another building: the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. 🎭 This building contains both the Civic Theatre and a smaller studio theatre, meaning that there is something for every taste in music, theatre, and entertainment! Multiple organizations have the honor of calling the Center for the Performing Arts their home. 🏡 These include the Carmel Symphony Orchestra, which grew from a humble volunteer group to a professional caliber ensemble this past decade; the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, featuring innovative choreography and fluid movements; the Great American Songbook foundation, which will take you back to the good old days of the 40s with smooth, jazzy, and wistful standards; and the storied Carmel Christkindlmarkt, which provides cherished Christmas joy on Carter Green every Advent and Christmas season! 🙏✝️❤️‍🔥🕊️ And so much more 5/5; highly recommend! And don't forget to have a fancy drink in the south lobby! 🥤

Depending where you're going in that beautiful building, you may need to climb and descend several flights of stairs. We attended a guest speaker-type show and the acoustics in the upper gallery box were not very good-- we and the people around us had trouble hearing the person on stage due to low volume and reverberating echoes. A music performance might have been better, I guess. On the plus side, parking is fairly close and FREE! The staff members were all very friendly and helpful. The bar in the 3rd floor lobby was very convenient to our seats, and not outrageously priced for that type of venue.

This was the host for the Carmel Christkindlmarkt. It has a very authentic German Christmas market feel, including the live music and food and trinkets for sale.

Fun. I LOVES THE URBANISM IN CARMEL. The market was really good too. Nice Event will come back.

Great... Best acoustic I've ever experienced in my life.
