Shippensburg’s Luhrs Center announces upcoming concerts

The H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center at Shippensburg University is pleased to announce four newly added performances—Brit Floyd, Graham Nash, Sesame Street Live: Elmo’s Got the Moves and The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight—each expected to draw significant demand.

Tickets for all four events go on sale Friday, May 8, 2026, at 10 a.m. at luhrscenter.com or by calling 717-477-SHOW. With broad appeal across multiple audiences and limited seating available, patrons are encouraged to purchase early as these performances have strong sellout potential.

Tickets are $48, $58, $68 and $88.

The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight returns to Luhrs Center on Monday, December 7, 2026, at 8 p.m. after a sold-out show in 2025. The 90-minute concert features classical musicians and thrilling vocalists performing rock and metal anthems in a dramatic candlelit setting, with music inspired by Metallica, AC/DC, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Guns N’ Roses and more. Tickets are $60, $74, $90 and $114.

The family favorite Sesame Street Live brings a brand-new tour: Elmo’s Got The Moves comes to Luhrs Center Sunday, October 18th for a 2 p.m.  matinee performance.  This exciting show will have kids and parents alike out of their seats and moving and dancing along with Elmo and his Sesame Street friends as they dance, stretch, and play along to fan-favorite songs, including “Sunny Days,” “Elmo’s Got the Moves,” and “Letter of the Day.”  Tickets are $35, $44, $55 and $65 – children under the age of two in the lap of an adult do not require a ticket.
