  Boston piano star Gloria Chien returns to the Gardner Museum to join the young German stars of the Goldmund Quartet in composer Amy Beach's Piano Quintet, one of the finest works by the greatest of Boston's "Second New England School" of composers. The Goldmunds will offer Haydn's String Quartet in E-flat major, nicknamed his "Joke" quartet, from his astonishing Opus 33 set of quartets, along with the fourth quartet of Polish mid-century modernist Grazyna Bacewicz. Her music, only now finding a wider audience, balances Baltic intensity and Mendelssohnian wit.

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.
