Joffrey Concert Group Celebrates 45 Years of Artistic Excellence in 2026! New York, NY – Jul 14, 2025 – The Joffrey Ballet School proudly announces the upcoming 45th Anniversary of the Joffrey Concert Group joffreyconcertgroup, a milestone celebration honoring nearly five decades of performance, education, and innovation in concert dance. Founded in the early 1970s and incorporated as a not-for-profit in 1981, the Joffrey Concert Group has become one of the foremost pre-professional dance companies in the United States, bridging the gap between intensive dance training and professional performance careers.⁠
⁠
Under the artistic leadership of Bradley Shelver bradshelver, the Joffrey Concert Group serves as the resident dance company of the Joffrey Ballet School. Comprised of dancers from the School’s prestigious year-round Trainee Program, the company provides a rigorous and immersive professional experience—mirroring the demands of a professional company and preparing dancers to meet them with confidence and artistry.⁠
⁠
“For 45 years, the Joffrey Concert Group has embodied the values of artistic curiosity, versatility, and excellence” said Frank Lee Merwin, Executive Director of the Joffrey Ballet School. “This anniversary is not just a celebration of our past, it is an opportunity to define our future. We can’t wait to continue expanding our story, deepening our impact, and inspiring the next generation of concert dance artists.”⁠
⁠
The Joffrey Concert Group continues its mission to support the next generation of professional dancers and choreographers through a dynamic blend of performance, education, and community engagement. With a strong focus on emerging voices and collaborative growth, the company continues to offer two cornerstone initiatives: the Creative Movers Choreographic Initiative (CMCI) and the ICONS Dance Festival.⁠
