Welcome
FRI APR 17 8PM

Pierre-Laurent Aimard, piano

Pierre-Laurent Aimard, one of the world’s most respected pianists, makes a long-anticipated Vivo Performing Arts debut with his signature intellect, expressiveness, and clarity. Join Aimard for an 88-key journey though the 24 keys of the preludes and fugues of Book II of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, where his insightful interpretation reveals the genius of Bach in thrilling new dimensions.
SAT APR 18 8PM

Paul Lewis, piano

British pianist Paul Lewis brings an installment of his 2026 touring project, the Mozart+ initiative, to Boston with a program that feels both grounded and expansive. Set alongside Poulenc’s tenderness and sly humor and Debussy’s flashes of joy and color, two sonatas by Mozart unfold with fresh emotional weight. Beloved by audiences for his beautifully calibrated and searching accounts of Schubert and Beethoven, Lewis reaches for new expressive ground with his Mozart+ series. He invites us to be curious: to listen to often-overlooked works in a new light and to hear how Mozart's piano sonatas echo through the works of composers who followed.
SUN APR 26 3PM

Joshua Bell, violin & Shai Wosner, piano

Beloved violinist Joshua Bell stands among the most celebrated artists of our time, captivating audiences with his virtuosity for nearly four decades. Renowned for his animated stage presence and “lucid, energetic, and compelling” (Bachtrack) interpretations, he draws audiences closer to the music with deep emotional connection and undeniable charisma. Pianist Shai Wosner, praised for his “keen musical mind and deep musical soul” (NPR’s All Things Considered), makes his second appearance on our stages, his first since 2015.

Tony Siqi Yun, piano

Still in his early 20s and only two years out of Juilliard, Canadian pianist Tony Siqi Yun is already making waves as a soloist and recitalist. Praised for his refinement, muscular sound, and intimate expressivity, Yun has “an emergent big personality” (Philadelphia Inquirer) that makes him a pianist you’ll want to experience firsthand.
