Live, informal music performances to activate the galleries.

On select Saturdays, live music activates the galleries of the Museum. Meant to be enjoyed informally as visitors explore the art on view, performances from an international roster of celebrated instrumentalists take place in accordance with the Museum’s safe social-distancing practices.

Curated by Laura Metcalf and Rupert Boyd of Boyd Meets Girl, the roster of musicians include international soloists and award-winning artists, plus members of the New York Philharmonic, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and more. The artists will perform works crossing a range of genres—from classical to contemporary—that will enhance visitors’ experience with the art.

Performances take place Saturdays 2–4 pm and are free with museum admission.
