  The impossibly talented Attacca Quartet returns to Calderwood Hall, bringing Bartok's masterful fourth quartet, which mixes Hungarian folk music and modernism with foot-stomping ferocity. Mendelssohn's Apollonian musicianship will be on display in his elegant String Quartet in E minor. The program is balanced by the Boston premiere of a Museum-commissioned work by David Lang, daisy, from the composer who created his "in-ear opera" true pearl for the Gardner Museum's Tapestry Room in 2018. Lang's music continues to surprise and delight with its inventive approaches to texture and form.

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.
