The Ogle Center at Indiana University Southeast is pleased to announce its 2024-2025 Ogle Center Presents season.
“The Ogle Center is where our community comes together to share its mutual love of the arts in southern Indiana,” said Kirk Randolph, Ogle Center director. “We have assembled an exciting variety of performances by nationally-touring groups along with the return of the annual Holiday Pops concerts that have become a family tradition for so many.”
According to Randolph, “the Ogle Center really has been the heart of arts and entertainment for the southern Indiana region for nearly 30 years, and we’re thrilled to be able to add to the quality of life for our community.”
Along with its signature series, THE OGLE CENTER PRESENTS, the Ogle Center is pleased to welcome back the LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA for its 2024-2025 NightLites series of concerts, featuring incredible classical pieces presented in the intimate setting of the Ogle Center’s Stem Concert Hall.
