  The Gardner Museum presents superstar Paul Galbraith, one of the great guitarists of our time and a superb interpreter. With the music of J.S. Bach and Albeniz at the heart of his program, Galbraith will perform on his remarkable eight-string "Brahms Guitar," which he holds like a cello. His instrument and his artistry are sui generis. There is simply no one else doing what Galbraith does. The program ranges from Dowland's Elizabethan gems through J.S. Bach's French Suites and Partitas, to a sonata by Haydn, Albeniz's masterpieces Suite Espanola and Espana, Ravel's Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn, and Lennox Berkeley's Quatre pieces. There is no better place to hear Galbraith's miraculous playing than in the superb acoustics of Calderwood Hall.

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.
