The Lettermen were the first act to perform at the grand opening of Shea Center for Performing Arts 60 years ago. They were gracious enough to return and help close out our 60th anniversary season.

In honor of this milestone, we interviewed guests who attended the very first Lettermen show at Shea Center, as well as those who joined us for their recent performance to close our 60th season.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Shea Center over the years. We can’t wait to see you next season! 🎶🎫

🎶 🎤 We hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful (despite the lousy weather ☔).

🎊 Last Sunday, we capped off the 2025-26 season with a "harmonious" performance by the legendary pop vocal trio The Lettermen. The Lettermen were the first known-group to perform at Shea Center when it opened in 1965. Decades later, they returned to the Shea Center stage to help celebrate its 60th anniversary.

📷 Here are some photos to brighten your day. We'll be sharing more memories from this iconic performance later in the week.

📷 Check out scenes from last Sunday's Jazz Room series season finale featuring multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy winning musician Paquito D'Rivera with the William Paterson Latin Jazz Ensemble, directed by Chico Mendoza. The concert marked Chico's final performance as maestro of the latin jazz ensemble at WP where he served on the jazz faculty for over 45 years. Outside of teaching, Chico was a working musician in his own right performing in prestigious venues, earning a Latin Grammy nomination for his "El Sonida" album, and longtime host of "Salsa Meets Jazz" at NYC's The Village Gate.

👏🏾 Let's all take a moment to give Chico his flowers! 💐 Please join us in congratulating Chico Mendoza for his service to William Paterson University of New Jersey's Jazz Studies and Latin and jazz music. 🎷 🎶
