Vivo Performing Arts
About
Vivo Performing Arts, known until 2026 as Celebrity Series of Boston, is a nonprofit presenter of live music, dance and spoken word performances across Boston and beyond. It presents nearly 40 engagements a year, and its stated mission is to enrich and inspire the community through exceptional live performance. Recent programming has included international dance debuts from Australia, Taiwan and Canada alongside two landmark American modern dance companies, and jazz performances are planned in a new venue at the Museum of Science.
The organization was founded in 1938 and adopted its new name and look in early 2026, while keeping the same mission, vision and values. Equity is a core value, and free community programs aim to make the performing arts accessible to all; in the 2024/25 season those programs reached 7,865 people across 90 events. A strategic plan called Go Deep, Go Broad, refreshed in 2024 with Deloitte, has guided the group’s direction since 2012.
