WHAT IS ARTS FOR ALL?

The Lied Center provides radical access to world class artists for University of Nebraska students through the Arts for All program. As a student, you can get free tickets to nearly half of the Lied Center’s season events. No other university offers this type of access to its students.

Reserve your free tickets on UNL Marketplace or visit the Lied Center box office. You will need your NCard.

The Reminders are a rare and remarkable musical duo seamlessly blending soulful sounds and roots music with insightful messages and thoughtful lyrics. The group consists of Brussels-born emcee Big Samir and Queens-born emcee/ vocalist Aja Black, a collective creative force that’s hard to beat. Big Samir weaves intricate rhythmic patterns with a bilingual French/English flow, displaying his street-smart credibility in both his lyrics and cool demeanor. This is beautifully complimented by Aja Black's confident delivery, diverse cadences, and unique vocal stylings. The two have an undeniable magical chemistry as they share more than lyrical abilities and stages; the couple shares a partnership in both music and life as Samir and Aja have been married for almost a decade.
