The Performing Arts Society is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to bringing classical music and jazz concerts to the central Kenai Peninsula. Each year, we present two to five concerts that are sure to give you a renewed appreciation for the culture that comes with classical and jazz music. We also enjoy presenting free concerts at our area schools to bring this wonderful experience to the younger generation.

Here at the Performing Arts Society, our goal is to educate people about how entertaining and exciting classical, and jazz music is and how easy it is to enjoy this entertainment. You do not have to be a music aficionado to enjoy a perfect note or a soulful song, you just have to love music. Come join us as we bring culture and education to the Kenai Peninsula in the form of the great classical and jazz musicians of our time. "

Jazz has always been in the forefront of American history. In fact, in 1987 the US House of Representatives and the Senate passed a bill to define jazz as a “rare and valuable national American treasure to which we should devote our attention, support, and resources to make certain it is preserved, understood, and promulgated.” Today, there are great classical jazz musicians around the world who are dedicated to continuing this thought and bringing education of jazz to the people.
