2024-2025 Community Leadership Series Presentations
Date: Wednesday, May 14
Speaker: Zak Vassar, President & CEO of Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts
Topic: In this talk, we will explore the transformative power of Live Arts—a concept that celebrates the immediacy, energy, and human connection of live performance. From the delicate precision of ballet to the symphonic grandeur of an orchestra and the improvisational spirit of jazz, live performance is an experience that can never be duplicated. This vision inspired the merger of the Toledo Symphony, Toledo Ballet, and Toledo Jazz Orchestra, uniting three artistic forces under one banner to create a stronger, more vibrant future for the performing arts in our region. At the heart of this vision is the Toledo Center for Live Arts—a dynamic home for education, collaboration, and innovation. More than a building, it is a creative hub where students and professionals alike come together to shape the future of music and dance. This is our moment to embrace the power of live performance and ensure its place in Toledo’s cultural landscape for generations to come.
