ArtsQuest has announced the appointment of Cory Stevens as Executive Director of Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health.

Stevens will lead the vision, programming direction and community engagement strategy for Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks to advance the venue’s mission while maintaining its strong volunteer-driven culture and commitment to free, high-quality live music for the community.

He succeeds Shayna Super, who will continue as Director of Music Programming at ArtsQuest.

Stevens brings more than seven years of experience at ArtsQuest to the role, including as Volunteer Program Manager, where he has overseen the recruitment, training and coordination of more than 1,000 volunteers annually at events such as Musikfest and Christkindlmarkt presented by Univest Financial.

He will maintain his role as Volunteer Program Manager, while taking on new responsibilities with the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks.

His background spans volunteer leadership, arts administration, community building and live event operations.

Stevens has been involved in the Levitt Family Foundation at the national level, serving on its Safety & Security Steering Committee and participating in national conventions that support best practices at more than 100 Levitt stages nationwide.

As Executive Director of Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks, he will continue to collaborate with ArtsQuest leadership and Friends of the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks Board, which is responsible for the governance and programming for the venue.

“Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks has been part of my life long before I ever imagined leading it,” said Stevens in an ArtsQuest press release.

“My first show here in 2016 completely changed how I saw this place, not just as a venue, but as a community.

“Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work side by side with our incredible volunteers, from setting up tables to gathering feedback and learning what truly makes this space special. I’m proud to step into this role and keep building a place where live music brings people together and everyone feels welcome.”

Stevens received a Bachelor of Arts in English from Shippensburg University. He resides in Pottstown.

In 2026, the Levitt Family Foundation is supporting more than 900 free concerts in more than 90 towns and cities in the United States, with attendance estimated at one million.
