Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize -winning musical RENT returns in a powerful new symphonic concert version.
With a live cast, full band, and symphonic arrangements, RENT in Concert reimagines the beloved rock musical in a bold and moving format.

Fans of the original will find this concert both familiar and fresh; an homage to a show that defined a generation and continues to speak powerfully today.

Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent.
It’s The Red Hot Chilli Pipers (that’s Pipers, NOT Peppers!), the nine piece ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keys and drummers who rock the world with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that leaves audiences and band alike breathless.
Since they walked away with the top prize on the U.K. primetime talent show, “When Will I Be Famous” in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven't stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002, The Chillis have become a global phenomenon, taking their signature 'bagrock' sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked up bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademark sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes like “The Flowers of Scotland” and contemporary anthems like Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” The band has four music degrees from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have played at the top level in bagpiping.
The Pipers have sold out the Anderson Center twice before and we can’t wait to welcome them back to celebrate St. Patrick’s Weekend in 2026!
This performance will feature a special onstage collaboration between the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and local bagpipe groups.
