Event Info: 

  The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's Winter/Spring 2026 Weekend Concert Series opens with Rachell Ellen Wong, the first Baroque violinist ever to receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant, making her overdue Gardner Museum debut in a program of trio sonatas with collaborators from her group, the excellent (and seasonally named) Twelfth Night Ensemble. Wong is a major talent-eloquent, virtuosic, and always musicianly. The program spans the great era of Baroque violin music, from Biber's Sonata V in F major through Corelli's celebrated "La Folia" Sonata, Tartini's diabolical Sonata in G minor (nicknamed "The Devil's Trill"), J.S. Bach's Sonata No. 2 in A major for violin and harpsichord, and other gems by Veracini, Royer, and Leclair.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's Winter/Spring 2026 Weekend Concert Series features a fifteen-concert season curated by Abrams Curator of Music George Steel running from January 25 through May 17, 2026. The winter/spring season showcases world-class artists in the Museum's extraordinary Calderwood Hall-a 300-seat "sonic cube" with three levels of balconies designed so that 80% of seats are front row, creating a uniquely intense and intentional listening experience. Dating to 1927, the Gardner's Weekend Concert Series is the longest running museum music program in the country.
