Digital Performances

Celebrity Series at Home

Streaming concerts continue in the 2022/23 season, with free Neighborhood Arts concerts for you to enjoy on YouTube, and on-demand digital tickets available for select subscription series concerts.

Our streaming broadcasts program began as an initiative to keep artists working in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has continued as a key component of our Neighborhood Arts and subscription performance series.

This season, we're excited to share two options for enjoying Celebrity Series digital concerts.

On-demand digital tickets to select subscription concerts

A number of concerts this season will offer the option to enjoy a high-quality edited streaming version, premiering 48 hours after the live event. The streaming version will be available for up to seven days so you can watch at your convenience!

Claudio Ragazzi Quartet

GRAMMY-winning guitarist and composer Claudio Ragazzi brings the influences of his native Argentina to his Latin jazz-inflected quartet. The band will play selections from a forthcoming album, as well as other selections from Ragazzi's extensive catalogue.

A prolific film and TV composer when he's not headlining or performing alongside some of music's biggest stars, Ragazzi creates evocative moods that unmistakably capture the spirit of places and moments.

"Rhythm of Life" from 2022:
Using traditional music, original compositions, and cross-cultural collaboration, this music and dance event traces the journey of the colorful rhythms and melodies that originated with the Roma people in the Indian village of Jaisalmer and wound their way through the ages, across Europe, to Spain and later Mexico.

Tabla virtuoso Sandeep Das and Madrid-based flamenco standout Nino de los Reyes team up with Suhail Yusuf Khan, sarangi, and vocalist Jose Cortes to tell this fascinating and personal multicultural story.
