BYU OnStage has announced the lineup for its 2026–2027 BRAVO! Professional Performing Arts Series, a season celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with performances that showcase the country’s rich artistic traditions alongside acclaimed artists from around the world. Every year, the BRAVO! Series brings world-class performers to BYU and the Provo community. Last year they brought Yo-Yo Ma and a live concert showing of How To Train Your Dragon. This season promises another lineup of unforgettable experiences.
Inspired by America’s semiquincentennial (d*ng, what a WORD), the 2026–2027 season highlights uniquely American genres like bluegrass and jazz while also welcoming internationally renowned musicians, actors and dancers. We’re talking Grammy Award-winning performers, Broadway stars, classical artists, and family-friendly productions.
FlexPasses for the 2026–2027 season are available today, allowing patrons to secure tickets before individual performances go on sale. Single-event tickets will be available beginning September 9 through BYU Tickets.
That said, there’s plenty to be excited about. In addition to performances created especially to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s BRAVO! lineup features a few returning favorites. Check out the season’s lineup below!
