Jean Rondeau

About this event

The Gardner Museum's Fall 2026 Weekend Concert Series concludes on Sunday, November 22 with superstar harpsichordist Jean Rondeau-perhaps the world's most celebrated performer on the instrument-returning to Calderwood Hall for a survey of French Baroque treasures by Louis Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Francois Couperin, and Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer. Rondeau is a global ambassador for the harpsichord, and is at the forefront of bringing the instrument into the 21st century. The Washington Post raves, "He internalizes the music he plays so completely that any interpretive ambivalence or miscalculation is unthinkable. The sincerity and modesty of his delivery are the keys to its power." The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's Fall 2026 Weekend Concert Series features a ten-concert autumn season curated by Abrams Curator of Music George Steel held on select Sundays at 1:30pm from September 13 through November 22, 2026. The fall season showcases world-class artists in the Museum's extraordinary Calderwood Hall-a 300-seat "sonic cube" with three levels of balconies designed so that 80% of seats are front row, creating a uniquely intense and intentional listening experience. Dating to 1927, the Gardner's Weekend Concert Series is the longest running museum music program in the country. LEARN MORE / GET TICKETS
