Dear Friends of the Arts, As a center for cultural events in the region, Saint Vincent is pleased to welcome the world-renowned Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Manfred Honeck, artistic director, for a performance of Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 on Saturday, September 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Archabbey Basilica. This “Bon Voyage Concert” will be the final concert before the PSO’s 2019 European Tour. The Symphony will be joined in the Basilica by the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh for a performance of Bruckner’s masterful Te Deum. “ WELCOME THE ARTS AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPE Enclosed you will find a catalog of upcoming cultural events scheduled for the 2019-2020 Arts Season at Saint Vincent College. Please join us in welcoming the highly-acclaimed artists, performers, and speakers who will share their talents through a variety of musical performances, art exhibitions, lectures and theatrical performances. The 2019-2020 arts season at Saint Vincent College includes performances of the Messiah and a special “Family Christmas Concert” by the Saint Vincent College Singers with Thomas Octave, musical director, as well as traditional Christmas carols with the Saint Vincent Camerata, Father Stephen Concordia, O.S.B., musical director. The 2019-2020 season for the arts will be highlighted by the dedication of the newly-expanded Dale P. Latimer Library on Thursday, April 23, 2020. The Library includes the Verostko Center for the Arts and the Sharon and James Rohr Welcome Center. Douglas Dodds, the senior curator of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, will be the keynote speaker. The recipient for the 2020 Bronder Prize for Piano will be the internationally-acclaimed Nathan Lee. At the age of 16, Lee won the First Prize in the Young Artists International Auditions. We are pleased to welcome him and the other artists to the Saint Vincent College campus.

The Saint Vincent Gallery is excited to announce a new name and our relocation to a new home located inside the Dale P. Latimer Library Arts & Technology Center! Beginning in spring 2020, the staff of the VEROSTKO CENTER FOR THE ARTS (VCA) will begin relocating from the Gallery’s present location on the third floor of the Robert S. Carey Center to an expanded 9,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility. In addition to increased exhibition areas, the galleries also feature centralized climate-controlled storage, a video presentation space, conservation lab, staff offices, as well as rare book viewing and collection rooms, reopening to the public in April 2020.
