Located on the University of Maine campus, the CCA presents an exceptional range of programming—Broadway tours, legendary performers, comedians, dance, live theatre, and chamber music—across the 1,435-seat Hutchins Concert Hall and intimate Minsky Recital Hall. We’re proud to host the Met: Live in HD and National Theatre Live, to be home to the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, and to showcase student musicians from the School of Performing Arts. With more than 100,000 visitors each year, we have something for everyone.
