The George Bishop Lane Series was established by a generous gift from the Lane family and has been presenting the finest in live performing arts since 1955. We have approximately twenty-five events per academic year, primarily in the comfortable, intimate, and acoustically superb UVM Recital Hall on Redstone Campus. We enjoy an international reputation as presenters of classical, jazz, folk/traditional, chamber, and choral music as well as theater, film, and dance. As a program of the University of Vermont School of the Arts, we are also dedicated to providing educational outreach to students of all ages, both on and off campus.

Serving as a link among many constituencies, the Lane Series finds its audience, volunteers, and advisors from the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of UVM as well as the community at large. In addition to the presentation of performances, the Lane Series enables students and the general public to interact directly with performers through master classes, workshops, residencies, lectures, and receptions. The Lane Series is committed to a dual mission of cultural presentation and outreach and education. Through our ARTIX program, we provide free tickets to over thirty social service agencies, ensuring arts access to all audiences. We also offer reduced ticket prices to students and University of Vermont faculty and staff.

The Lane Series offices are located at in the Music Building, 384 South Prospect Street in Burlington, VT 05405.
