Live Entertainment in Juneau

Juneau's Centennial Hall serves Alaska's capital city's performing arts and events needs — a convention and event center presenting concerts and cultural events for one of the world's most dramatically situated capital cities (Juneau sits beneath the Juneau Icefield, the largest icefield in the Americas outside of Greenland and Antarctica). Juneau's extraordinary natural setting and its role as the state capital create an events center of unusual geographical and political significance.

Juneau Symphony Orchestra is Alaska's second-most important classical music organization — presenting orchestral concerts for one of the world's most dramatically situated capital cities. Its extraordinary role in providing world-class music to a city of 32,000 that can only be reached by sea or air and its consistent development of Alaska music culture create an orchestra of unusual significance in the context of American orchestral culture.

Perseverance Theatre is Alaska's most acclaimed professional theater company — a Juneau institution that has produced nationally recognized world-premiere productions (including a celebrated production of Hamlet set in rural Alaska) and consistently presented work that engages with Alaska's extraordinary cultural complexity. Its extraordinary role in producing theater that genuinely reflects Alaska Native experience, the frontier spirit, and the remarkable human diversity of America's largest state creates a theater company of national artistic importance.
