Modlin Center also hosts mainstage productions presented by the University of Richmond's Department of Theatre and Dance and music performances by the Department of Music's annual free concert series. Many of the events presented at Modlin foster relational experiences between artists and audiences, and feature academic components designed specifically for University of Richmond students. These activities, which are free and open to the public, include master classes, artist talks and demonstrations, as well as pre-concert and exhibition lectures. The Modlin Center is also home to the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art, one of the University of Richmond Museums.

Admission to all museums is free and open to the public.

What a memorable weekend. The Modlin team have yet to leave cloud 9, especially after last night’s final encore, where Christian McBride & Ursa Major brought out not one, but two special guests: Chief Adjuah and Richmond’s own Nate Smith!

If you attended one or multiple Jazz Weekend performances at Modlin, please leave a comment to tell us what moment had an impact on you.

Major hat tips to Tyreek McDole, Lakecia Benjamin & Phoenix, Cory Henry & the Funk Apostles, Chief Adjuah, and, of course, Christian McBride. Thank you for bringing your gifts to us in Richmond, Virginia.
