Beethoven, Wynton Marsalis, William Bolcom, William Grant Still + more
In many ways, Ludwig van Beethoven’s turbulent and fiercely concentrated Op. 95 “Serioso” Quartet points toward the restless individuality that defines so much American music today. Its sharp contrasts, rhythmic urgency, and emotional directness resonate across genres and generations—from the jazz-infused classical language of William Bolcom, to the stylistic fluency and improvisatory spirit of Wynton Marsalis, the lyrical originality of William Grant Still, and the virtuosic cross-cultural voice of Aldo López-Gavilán. Though separated by centuries and traditions, these composers share a commitment to breaking boundaries while speaking in unmistakably personal voices.

A Choral Pilgrimage with The St. James’s Singers
Join the Reverend Dr. Ayla Lepine, the Reverend Meredith Ward, and London’s St. James’s Singers for a contemplative pilgrimage through The Met Cloisters, accompanied by choral music inspired by Hildegard of Bingen and other women composers from across the centuries.
Through music, reflection, and movement, this unique experience explores themes of Heaven and Earth, faith, nature, and creation, connecting Hildegard’s extraordinary vision with the voices of women composers from throughout history to the present day.
Meet in the Main Hall
