For 20 years, Executive and Artistic Director Aimée M. Petrin has shaped Ovations with vision, curiosity, and a deep belief in the power of the performing arts to bring people together.
Under Aimée’s artistic leadership, our stages have welcomed extraordinary artists from around the world, introduced thousands of students to the joy of live performance, championed Maine artists and Wabanaki voices, and created countless moments of connection that will stay with our community for years to come.
Her passion for bold, meaningful programming has challenged us, inspired us, and reminded us that the arts have the power to spark conversation, celebrate our shared humanity, and transform lives.
As we celebrate 20 years of Aimée’s remarkable leadership, we offer our deepest gratitude for her creativity, dedication, and unwavering commitment to Portland Ovations and the community we serve.
Please join us in thanking Aimée for two decades of unforgettable artistry and impact.
