(For Immediate Release, May 13, 2025) ??Celebrity Series of Boston announces its 2025/26 season, ushering in its 87^th year of artistic excellence, inviting programming, and powerful storytelling on stages across Greater Boston. The nearly 80 performances include both ticketed subscription performances and Neighborhood Arts free concerts, emphasizing the organization’s belief that the arts belong to everyone.

The 2025/26 subscription season, curated by Artistic Director Nicole Taney, brings audiences a rich array of artistic experiences. Highlights include 30 artist debuts, co-presentations and collaborations with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Lyric Opera, a St. Patrick’s Day celebration with Irish fiddler Martin Hayes and the Common Ground Ensemble, popular Nordic roots trio Dreamers’ Circus, a song cycle by singer/composer Gabriel Kahane, the debut of Finnish string quartet Meta4, Tyshawn Sorey Trio with bassist Harish Raghavan, and pianist Aaron Diehl, violinist Itzhak Perlman and a cast of klezmer all-stars, violinist Joshua Bell, and dozens more performances across 17 venues this season.

Celebrity Series' signature community engagement program, Neighborhood Arts, embodies the organizational commitment to bring the arts to everyone and everyone to the arts. Not only does Neighborhood Arts offer free concerts across Boston for people of all ages, it also employs local artists, commissions new works, and connects young people with the arts. This season’s Neighborhood Arts concerts, curated by Robin Baker, Associate Director of Community Engagement, celebrate cultural richness with performances honoring the 250^th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Latin American music and artists, female-led ensembles, Haitian dance, a weekend of clarinet music, and a performance that champions adaptive music-making for musicians with disabilities.

Gary Dunning, President and Executive Director of the Celebrity Series of Boston, says, “Inside this season are artists you know and love, and new favorites to discover with 30 artist debuts that offer a glimpse of the future. Whether you’re enjoying free concerts by Boston-based artists or performances by international touring artists, you can count on Celebrity Series to bring you thrilling artistic variety and exceptional performances in all genres we present.”

Nicole Taney, Artistic Director, adds, “I rarely program around a theme—but sometimes, connections emerge. This season, you’ll find stunning vocal debuts, inventive interpretations of Bach, and dance works that boldly reflect personal journeys. What makes this season particularly special is the way these programs—intentionally or not—resonate with one another, creating a cohesive and enriching journey for our audiences.”

Robin Baker, Associate Director of Community Engagement, says, “Each season, Neighborhood Arts invites everyone to experience the power of live performance in their own community. This season, we’re especially excited to spotlight the vibrant sounds of Latin America, showcase diverse voices through clarinet and choral festivals, and continue building meaningful connections across Boston’s neighborhoods with even more venues in Roxbury. These performances are about more than just music—they’re about belonging, celebration, and the shared joy that happens when artists and audiences come together.”
