The Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel will celebrate its 15th season with a schedule that will feature jazz, pop, classical, comedy, holiday and acrobatic series programs.
Highlights of the season announced Tuesday include singers Lisa Loeb and Joan Osborne, singer/songwriter Chris Isaak, pop and R&B band Fitz and the Tantrums, comedian and former late-night show host Jay Leno, mandolin player Chris Thile, actor and singer Mandy Patinkin, Las Vegas-based singer Wayne Newton and the United Kingdom’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with violinist Ray Chen.
Most performances will be at the soon-to-be renamed Payne & Mencias Palladium, while a handful will be at The Tarkington theater. The Allied Solutions Center announced in March that it reached a 10-year philanthropic agreement with Carmel residents Eric and Leah Payne and Ron and Suzanne Mencias to rename the 1,500-seat hall on July 1.
The entire season, which is scheduled in the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026, is on sale through various subscription packages. Purchases can be made online at TheCenterPresents.org, by phone at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877-909-2787, or in person at the Palladium box office at 1 Carter Green.
