Two performances remain, Boerne Performing Arts prepares to close

After twelve seasons of bringing world-renowned artists to the stage and connecting local audiences to performers from around the globe, Boerne Performing Arts has announced to supporters, patrons, and sponsors that it will close its operations after this twelfth season and following a grand finale concert on December 12, 2024. For 12 years, the non-profit, volunteer-led organization worked to fulfill its mission of, “bringing the world of performing arts to Boerne by presenting concerts that feature internationally acclaimed artists, educating through student outreach programs, and enriching the quality of life in the community” and has presented 29 different artists from 14 countries giving 44 performances as well as numerous student outreach concerts at no cost to the students of BISD. 

The organization credits the partnership and contributions of Boerne Independent School District and especially Champion High School’s Principal, faculty, and staff which were integral in ensuring that the organization had a state-of-the-art performance center in Champion Auditorium for its concerts. The generous financial support of many corporate sponsors, individual donors and community partners enabled community and business members to embrace the goal and participate in the attainment of Boerne Performing Arts’ mission.

Despite continued efforts, Boerne Performing Arts will cease operations after a Grand Finale Holiday Concert on December 12, 2024. In a letter to supporters, the board reported that the cumulative impact of COVID 19, a sluggish economy marked by high inflation, and lagging ticket sales, made continuing its volunteer, donor-based organization financially unsustainable.

Tickets are still available now for the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain coming to Boerne on Monday, April 22, 2024. Visit www.BoernePerformingArts.com for tickets ($60 - $40 - $30 - $20 student) and a preview of the artists. For questions, call Boerne Performing Arts Message Line at 830-331-9079. 

The artists for the Grand Finale holiday show on December 12, 2024, will be announced on April 22, and tickets will be available on Tuesday, April 23 on the website.
