Wilson Center Announces 2025/26 Season!

Wilson Center reveals 2025-2026 season: Marty Stuart, Joshua Redman, much more

Matt Wild April 10, 2025

Where can you go to enjoy unique and gorgeously staged performances from classical musicians, jazz icons, bluegrass bands, and the guy who sang “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin'” with Travis Tritt? The Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, that’s where. And you’ll find all of the above—and much, much more—in the Wilson Center’s just-announced 2025-2026 Performing Arts Season.

Three distinct but equally compelling series make up the season: the up-and-coming Studio Series, the crowd-pleasing Matinee Series, and the marquee Mainstage Series. The latter has plenty of highlights this year, including Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives on October 24 (Stuart’s the one who sang “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin'” with Travis Tritt), saxophonist Joshua Redman on November 8, California bluegrass band AJ Lee & Blue Summit on January 16, and a tribute to David Grisman and Jerry Garcia (from Grisman’s son Sam) on May 1.

“This season, we’re honoring legacy and embracing innovation,” says Wilson Center Artistic Manager Tyler Nikolas. “From jazz legends and Broadway stars to powerful cultural collaborations and genre-bending rising artists, there’s truly something for everyone.”

Subscriptions for the 2025-2026 season are on sale NOW. Individual tickets go on sale June 10. Here’s the full season lineup, with blurbs courtesy of the Wilson Center:
