About the Show
"NEXT at the Kennedy Center," a new primetime series from The Kennedy Center and PBS, spotlights cultural leaders from the worlds of hip hop, jazz, folk, comedy, modern dance and more. Captured to match the unique style of our featured artists, each episode weaves together performances filmed live at the Kennedy Center with intimate off-stage moments, contextualizing their significance and impact on American culture.
Through the decades, the Kennedy Center has been at the forefront of reflecting the breadth of America's diverse performing arts culture. While symphony, opera, ballet, and Broadway remain at the heart of the Center's identity, hip hop, comedy, jazz, and modern dance are equally embedded within the fabric of our national cultural center.
