The longest-running museum music program in the nation, the Gardner Museum’s concert series enters its 82nd consecutive season this September. Concerts are held in the museum’s intimate and atmospheric Tapestry Room gallery, including performances by the museum’s own Gardner Chamber Orchestra, world-renowned chamber music groups and soloists, and several of the most talented young musicians performing today, many of whom have won prestigious international competitions.

Under the direction of Scott Nickrenz, programs include the Sunday Concert Series and Young Artists Showcase on nearly every Sunday afternoon from September through May.  The museum also hosts Thursday evening concerts, as part of Gardner After Hours, including the popular Composer Portraits series of new music concerts and the return of Jazz at the Gardner. The museum also offers free podcasts of concerts recorded live from the Tapestry Room, a great way to get a taste of our concert series for the first time, listen again to your favorite concerts from past seasons, or preview some of the upcoming season’s performers, right here on our website.

Join our email list, or request a print brochure by contacting the Music Department at concerts@isgm.org.   Come enjoy an afternoon or evening of music in the museum — and ticket prices include museum admission!
