About the Longworth-Anderson SEries

Launched in early 2017 by the Cincinnati Memorial Hall Society, the Longworth-Anderson Series (LAS) features Grammy Award-winning and other nationally recognized performers and bands at beautiful, historic Memorial Hall. This annual series showcases artists from a variety of contemporary music genres including alternative, Americana, bluegrass, blues, country, folk, gospel, hip hop, jazz, pop, R&B, reggae, rock, soul, and world music. Events that are part of the series provide an entire evening of entertainment including pre-concert receptions with live local music, light bites, and beer & wine tastings from popular regional restaurants, craft beer brewers, and wine distributors.

Our Goals

  • Present each year a diverse lineup of Grammy Award-winning and other top-quality acts across a range of contemporary music genres for our community to enjoy;

  • Become a perennial and popular part of Cincinnati’s entertainment calendar;

  • Demonstrate the value of having the Memorial Hall theater as an integral part of the arts district around Washington Park

To see such high caliber musicians, at their peak, in a room of this size and refinement is a real gift. You won’t get this chance very often.
