| Library of Congress Announces 2026-27 Concert Season
|
| 08/04/2026
|
|
Concerts from the Library of Congress returns for the 2026-27 season with a lineup spanning six centuries of music. The season marks major milestones, including America's semiquincentennial, the centennials of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and 200 years of Beethoven's legacy. The season brings world-class performances, premieres of Library commissions, film screenings, scholarly talks and more to the historic Coolidge Auditorium.
Several programs mark the nation's 250th anniversary by highlighting American musical life and culture. Violist Hsin-Yun Huang joins the Brentano Quartet for Mozart and Beethoven at the Library's annual Stradivari Anniversary concerts, performing on the Library's Whittall Stradivari quartet and the recently acquired 1690 Fulton ex-Baird Tuscan-Medici viola. Dianne Reeves joins the Branford Marsalis Quartet to mark the centennial of John Coltrane's legacy in one of several jazz concerts. Broadway star Audra McDonald performs an intimate recital celebrating American theater music and the Library's recent acquisition of the Stephen Sondheim collection. The Library also continues its tradition of championing living composers with premieres of seven new commissions, including a string quartet by John Adams, who visits the Coolidge Auditorium this season to discuss his career and archive.
