David Sedaris
Big issues are taken down to size, conflicts are sliced through, and hilarity emerges, somehow, from misfortune in David Sedaris’ telling. David will read new and unpublished works, take audience questions, and will stay after the performance to meet and sign books for every person in line.

Takács Quartet with Jordan Bak, viola

Paul Lewis, piano
Replacing Joyce Yang, who is unable to perform due to injury
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.
