Duke Performances

In order to best serve our community, Duke Performances offers tickets at the lowest possible price, typically 30% less than tickets to comparable events in the area.  Donations from patrons ensure that we can continue to offer tickets to exceptional programs at these low prices.  A maximum of only 25% of our operating budget comes from ticket revenue.  With increasing pressure on our funding sources, we depend even more on the generosity of those who can support our efforts to provide the best performing arts to the widest possible  audience.

When you make a tax-deductible contribution to support Duke Performances you ensure our ability to continue presenting top-flight, forward-thinking artists; foster meaningful interaction with students; and build a community in Durham dedicated to the performing arts in all their forms.
