The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum kicks off its bold new concert series, Thursday Night Music, with Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians performed by Ensemble Signal conducted by Co-Artistic Director Brad Lubman.Massively ambitious, the hour-long Music for 18 Musicians features four grand pianos, three full-size marimbas, two xylophones, three singers, clarinet, violin, and cello.
In this work, Reich drew influences from a wide variety of sources including Balinese gamelan, plainchant, and jazz.
It premiered 50 years ago in 1976 and continues to loom large in today's musical landscape; David Bowie included the 1978 ECM New Series recording of Music for 18 Musicians among his 25 favorite albums of all time.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum invites you to escape the ordinary in a magical setting where art and community come together to inspire new ways of envisioning our world.
Embodying the fearless legacy of its founder, the Museum offers a singular invitation to explore the past through a contemporary lens, creating meaningful encounters with art and joyful connections for all.
Modeled after a Venetian palazzo, unforgettable galleries surround a luminous Courtyard and are home to masters such as Rembrandt, Raphael, Titian, Michelangelo, Whistler, and Sargent.
The Renzo Piano Wing provides a platform for contemporary artists, musicians, and scholars and serves as an innovative venue where creativity is celebrated in all of its forms.
