Performance Calendar

Acclaimed pianist and author Jeremy Denk curates a program that unites female composers across the centuries, telling a story of women’s genius, whether celebrated, neglected, remembered, or forgotten. He lends his insight, technical panache, and uniquely expressive style to this era-spanning program. 

French pianist Hélène Grimaud enjoys a busy and varied career on the world’s concert stages as an orchestral soloist, a chamber music partner, and a solo recitalist. Her combination of sheer strength and power tempered by her interpretive subtlety and technical control makes her an impressive pianist in any setting. 

Grimaud’s Boston-area recital debut shows off her expressive skills and technical control: the many moods and the brilliant variations heard in Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30, the colors and soulfulness of Brahms’ late piano works, the pyrotechnics of Busoni’s transcription of Bach’s Chaconne. 

This red-hot young quartet was founded in 2019 at the Juilliard School and was launched on their current trajectory by winning one of the most prestigious awards in chamber music at the 2022 Banff Competition. Their artistry and limitless potential were further recognized when they were awarded a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant. This playful, adventurous, and talented group is in the earliest stages of what promises to be a major career: be there for the Isidore String Quartet’s local debut concerts, featuring works by Haydn, Billy Childs, and Beethoven.
