To celebrate 25 years of the Gardner Museum’s Artist-in-Residence program, the Claremont Trio performs a selection of works connected to the Museum’s collection and Isabella herself, including Helen Grime’s three-movement work based on three paintings by Whistler in Isabella’s collection. Juantio Becenti, a rising composer of Diné (Navajo) heritage, will write a new work inspired by an artwork in the Museum.

The Museum thanks its generous concert donors: Fitzpatrick Family Concert; James Lawrence Memorial Concert; Alford P. Rudnick Memorial Concert; Marie Louise and David Scudder Concert; Wendy Shattuck Young Artist Concert; and Willona Sinclair Memorial Concert. The piano is dedicated as the Alex d’Arbeloff Steinway. The harpsichord was generously donated by Dr. Robert Barstow in memory of Marion Huse, and its care is endowed in memory of Dr. Barstow by The Barstow Fund. The Museum is also supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which receives support from the State of Massachusetts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
