Patti LuPone

Spend an evening with a true Broadway legend as three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone returns to Celebrity Series with a brand-new program, A Life in Notes. In this personal musical memoir, LuPone, backed by her band, shares the indelible songs that define her life on and off the stage. 

Christian Tetzlaff, violin and Kirill Gerstein, piano 

Two brilliant artists come together as a chamber music duo for the first time on the Series: violinist Christian Tetzlaff and pianist Kirill Gerstein join forces for a program featuring sonatas by Janáček, Bartók, and Brahms, a work by György Kurtág, and the Boston premiere of Thomas Adès’ suite from his opera The Tempest

An Evening with David Sedaris 

Through decades of his essays and diaries, David Sedaris has made us consider the absurdities of human nature and modern life: family, travel, relationships, aging, the pandemic and political upheavals…all of it. Laugh along with fellow fans when David Sedaris returns to Symphony Hall to read new and unpublished selections, take questions, and sign books. 

Brentano String Quartet 

“My best advice is never to pass up an opportunity to hear the Brentano String Quartet,” raves The Strad, citing the group’s intensity, commitment, and intelligent interpretations. For their Boston program, the Quartet’s selections span the standard quartet repertoire, from Mozart to Shostakovich; they will bring together works from three centuries and vastly different styles, and will infuse each with the exuberance, sensitivity, and care for which they are renowned. 

Bamberg Symphony, Jakub Hrůša, conductor 

Jakub Hrůša, a “serious, thoughtful conductor” (ArtsDesk) whose star is on the rise around the world, leads the distinctive Bamberg Symphony in this all-German, all-Romantic program. The orchestra performs Wagner’s Lohengrin Prelude and Tannhäuser Overture and Brahms’ Third Symphony, as well as Schumann’s Piano Concert with Lukáš Vondráček as the soloist.
