About the Series

Shortly after the Museum opened in the current building, it was discovered that the expansive galleries were glorious for chamber music. Subsequently, the Museum Concert Series was born, and musicians from around the world were invited to perform against the backdrop of contemporary art. This Sunday afternoon tradition has continued for over thirty years and with the support of the community will thrive for generations to come.


Imani Winds, February 1, 2026

Celebrating nearly three decades of transformative music-making, the GRAMMY®-winning and four-time nominated Imani Winds has led both a revolution and evolution of the wind quintet. Known for their dynamic playing, adventurous programming, imaginative collaborations, and impactful outreach, they have inspired audiences of all ages around the globe. Their repertoire bridges the traditional and the contemporary—featuring core chamber works, reimagined arrangements, and newly commissioned pieces by both renowned and rising composers. Imani Winds’ programming reflects the urgency and diversity of our times, amplifying stories and voices too often left unheard.

"Imani's performance was brilliant – intense, dynamic and wildly colorful."

Cavatina Duo, April 12, 2026

The Cavatina Duo, Eugenia Moliner, flute (Spain) and Denis Azabagic, guitar (Bosnia) has become one of the most impressive combinations of its kind in the world. The first guitar and flute duo to be featured on the covers of both Classical Guitar Magazine (UK) and the cover of Flute Talk (USA), the husband-and-wife Cavatina Duo breaks convention with their combination of instruments.

"This pair is generally considered to be the best of them

[flute and guitar duos]." THE NEW YORKER


Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies, May 3, 2026

The Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies is an exciting and unusual ensemble of musicians and composers who combine instruments from the past and present as well as ritual theater, masks and dance. Members of the ensemble are former students of the award-winning conductor/composer Alejandro Iglesias Rossi, who founded OIANT in Argentina in 2000 to combine the unique sounds of native instruments of the Americas with European instruments and modern digital technology.

All the musicians have built their musical instruments after researching their histories, based, in many cases, on models recovered from archaeological sites. The repertoire includes both traditional folk music and new compositions designed to explore sounds that come from combining technologies of the past and the present.

"Shamanic Sounds and Crazy Tone Clusters ... feels like you have traveled back 1,000 years and you are in a strange ceremony celebrating the connections of the culture with the Earth."
