WHAT’S COMING UP
New Ballet presents
Fast Forward 2026
Enjoy a fast-paced evening of new contemporary ballet. Often described by the dancers as their favorite program of the season, Fast Forward provides the opportunity for emerging choreographers, both local and from around the country, to experiment. The chance to dance work that has been created specifically for them, rather than perhaps for dancers who performed hundreds of years ago, allows New Ballet’s Company Dancers to grow as artists and to be part of the creative process. Audiences will be thrilled and inspired watching choreographic and dance artists take risks and create.
San Jose Metropolitan Band presents

The band will present an exciting preview of the program it will perform during its June concert tour of Italy. Led by Director Ken Nakamoto, the ensemble will feature an eclectic selection of concert band music spanning from the early 1900s to today.
SJSU School of Music presents
La Voix Humaine and Stuck Elevator
SJSU Opera Theater presents a Double Bill:Francis Poulenc: La Voix Humaine Poulenc’s searing one-act opera follows a desperate woman through a final phone call with her departing lover. This haunting musical monologue transforms private anguish into visceral theater, as raw emotion unfolds through Poulenc’s lush orchestration and Jean Cocteau’s unflinching text. An unforgettable portrait of love and loss.
Byron Au Yong: Stuck Elevator. Prompted by a true story, this sung-through opera follows a stuck Chinese food deliveryman through 81 hours trapped in a Bronx elevator. This haunting 81-minute musical hybrid transforms what it means to be trapped in America, as raw desperation unfolds through a collision of operatic singing, rap, and contemporary musical theater.
