Hampton University Musical Arts Society Tickets

The Hampton University Musical Arts Society (HAS) is a cornerstone of Hampton University’s cultural life, a multi-genre performer collective rooted in a century of artistic excellence. Established in 1921 by composer and pianist R. Nathaniel Dett, HAS was created to bring national and international artists to the Hampton University campus and the surrounding Peninsula community. Today, HAS continues the legacy of presenting a wide array of performances that span classical, jazz, opera, dance, and cross-genre collaborations across the performing arts spectrum. The MAS home at Ogden Hall (Robert C. Ogden Auditorium) remains a historic venue on campus, hosting a diverse slate of concerts and recitals that showcase the breadth of HAS programming and its mission to enrich the regional cultural landscape.

HAS has hosted icons such as Percy Grainger, Fritz Kreisler, Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, Marian Anderson, Paul Robeson, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, and the Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo. Through its annual concert and recital series, HAS contributes to Hampton University’s status as a regional cultural hub, inviting audiences to experience both traditional masterworks and adventurous cross-genre collaborations.

For 2025, public HAS touring dates are not listed here, but the year features notable HU-related events including the Hampton Jazz & Music Festival (June 27–29, 2025 at Hampton Coliseum) and the HU Choirs’ London tour (June 24–30, 2025).
