About this Performer
Powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Nadia Washington makes her Celebrity Series debut with her Quartet. Share an afternoon of heartfelt original music that effortlessly traverses jazz, gospel, folk, world, and rock and roll. Nadia’s captivating music and storytelling will reconnect you to hope and healing for an unforgettable artistic experience. Nadia Washington’s journey began in a musical family in Dallas, taking her all over the world and leading to collaborations with jazz icons like Nicolas Payton, Esperanza Spalding, Dianne Reeves, and more. As a professor at Berklee College of Music, she has appointments in the Ear Training Department and Danilo Pérez and Marco Pignataro’s Global Jazz Institute. Co-sponsored by Ágora Cultural Architects.
About this Performer
Room-shaking power and soul-soothing poetry come together during Evgeny Kissin’s return to Symphony Hall. Bach's Partita No. 2 for Keyboard gives way to Chopin’s contemplative Nocturnes. Shostakovich’s intense Piano Sonata No. 2 pairs with selections from his homage to Bach, his 24 Preludes and Fugues. Don’t miss a modern master of the keyboard when Evgeny Kissin takes the stage!
About this Performer
Tessa Lark, at once a widely praised classical violinist and an acclaimed Appalachian fiddler, blends the elegance and expressiveness of her classical training with the spontaneity and verve of bluegrass and mountain music. Her joyful style sets a beautifully collaborative tone when paired with Edgar Meyer and Oklahoma-born cellist, composer, and curator Joshua Roman.
