Join us for the 2027 Vivo Performing Arts SHINE! Gala, this time at the Museum of Science William and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Science Common, with cocktails, dinner, performance, and community. The evening will kick off Vivo Performing Arts’ four-day Jazz Festival and celebrate the many artists, audiences, partners, and patrons that make Boston one of America’s premiere cultural destinations.
Hailed as "a living legend" by The New Yorker, Fred Hersch and his trio move between stillness and surprise, luminous lyricism and fearless exploration—opening the Jazz Festival at the Museum of Science's extraordinary new performance space.
Anna Geniushene's silver medal at the 2022 Cliburn competition announced a fascinating, distinctive artist with raw power and deep curiosity. Her program moves from Brahms' searching Ballades through Liszt's hauntingly beautiful Valses Oubliées to Beethoven's monumental Eroica Variations.
Bandleader, bassist, and composer Endea Owens draws from a vibrant community of New York jazz musicians who bring soul jazz warmth and irresistible hard bop grooves to every show—a band that offers everyone a seat at the table and a feast for the soul.
Alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins is one of the most magnetic young musicians in America. With his quartet, he brings a sound marked by confidence, clarity of purpose, and an intensity that feels wholly alive in the moment, promising an essential night for anyone drawn to music where virtuosity and emotion are inseparable.
Vibraphonist Patricia Brennan makes her Vivo Performing Arts debut with her Tentet in Of The Near And Far—a program in which she mapped constellations onto a musical Circle of Fifths, finding inspiration in the geometries of the stars themselves.
Beloved humorist David Sedaris brings his singular voice to Symphony Hall for an evening of sharp wit, surprising insight, and laugh-out-loud storytelling—with freshly written and unpublished pieces, diary excerpts, and the offbeat observations that have made him one of America's most distinctive literary performers.
Audiences can't get enough of Hiromi. A boundary-defying pianist, she returns with a must-see personal tribute—joining forces with bass legend Stanley Clarke to honor Chick Corea, with the brilliant PUBLIQuartet adding lush strings. Joyful, virtuosic, and deeply felt.
In a year rich with tributes to John Coltrane, this promises to be among the most compelling—the incomparable Dianne Reeves joining Branford Marsalis and his longtime quartet to honor Coltrane's landmark "classic quartet" collaboration with vocalist Johnny Hartman.
Leonkoro is Esperanto for "lionheart"—and this Berlin-based quartet, winners of nine prizes at the 2022 Wigmore Hall Competition, lives up to every spirited syllable. Alfred Brendel called them "perfectly unanimous, colorful and original."
