SUMMARY:Delirium Musicum
DESCRIPTION:Delirium Musicum is a thrilling chamber orchestra acclaimed for its bold programming\, period-inspired performance\, and electrifying\, genre-crossing spirit. With members from nine countries\, the ensemble swept all five categories in the 2025 San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards\, earning recognition as one of today’s most exciting and innovative ensembles. \nPROGRAM\nPROKOFIEV: Romeo and Juliet: Montagues and Capulets *\nSAINT-SAËNS: Danse Macabre *\nG.

Drawing inspiration from the city’s vibrant cultural mosaic and boundary-bending spirit\, the ensemble forges a distinctive musical identity shaped by diversity\, spontaneity\, and bold artistic curiosity. Its members represent nine countries across four continents\, and their programs juxtapose music from across eras and styles\, creating performances that invite audiences into deeply human and immediate musical experiences. \nPraised as “ferocious and rhythmically mesmerizing” by San Francisco Classical Voice\, Delirium Musicum is widely recognized for its out-of-the-box programming and electrifying live performances. Los Angeles Times critic Mark Swed describes the group as “a step ahead\, ready for anything—virtuosic and versatile.” Through concerts\, tours\, recordings\, and multimedia projects\, the ensemble reaches audiences of wide-ranging backgrounds and musical tastes. \nDelirium Musicum’s debut album\, Seasons\, was released on Warner Classics in April 2023 to international acclaim. Critics across Europe praised the ensemble’s intensity\, urgency\, and ability to connect deeply with listeners\, with Diapason noting the group’s energy and tension in its vivid interpretations. Recent projects include Treelogy\, a three-part collaborative work with composers Billy Childs\, Steven Mackey\, and Gabriella Smith\, commissioned by The Soraya and premiered in Los Angeles in 2023. Inspired by California’s Joshua trees\, sequoias\, and redwoods devastated by wildfires\, the project was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a sublime\, classical ode to California’s redwoods\, sequoias and Joshua trees.” \nCommunity engagement is central to Delirium Musicum’s mission. During the pandemic\, Gara and violinist YuEun Kim launched MusiKaravan\, traveling the West Coast in a 1971 VW bus to perform socially distanced concerts for diverse communities. The project evolved into an award-winning streaming series and continues today. The ensemble also presents Baby Concerts\, developed with USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute\, offering interactive musical experiences for infants\, toddlers\, and caregivers. \nDelirium Musicum has received numerous honors\, including a Global Music Awards Silver Medal\, and in 2025 swept all five categories in the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards\, affirming its place as one of today’s most exciting and innovative ensembles.

SUMMARY:Joshua Bell & Larisa Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Husband-and-wife duo Joshua Bell and Larisa Martínez present The Voice and the Violin\, a genre-spanning program exploring art song\, opera\, musical theater\, and works by Puerto Rican and Spanish composers—an acclaimed collaboration presented at major festivals and concert halls nationwide. \n“Bell and Martínez’s musical sensibilities were evenly matched\, the soprano’s delicate voice fitting well with the violinist’s effortless playing… the program retained the feel of an intimate\, 19th-century salon\, yet didn’t pass up the chance for big\, impressive moments.” — Cleveland Classical \nJOSHUA BELL\, violin\nWith a career spanning nearly four decades\, GRAMMY® Award–winning violinist Joshua Bell CBE is one of the most celebrated and influential artists of his era. He has performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world and maintains an extraordinarily active career as a soloist\, recitalist\, chamber musician\, conductor\, and Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. In 2025\, Bell was awarded an honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by King Charles III for services to music. \nHighlights of Bell’s 2024–25 season include the release of two new albums: Thomas De Hartmann Rediscovered\, featuring the world premiere recording of De Hartmann’s Violin Concerto with the INSO-Lviv Orchestra\, and an album of Mendelssohn piano trios recorded with longtime collaborators Jeremy Denk and Steven Isserlis. An avid recitalist\, Bell tours internationally and performs his popular Voice and the Violin program with soprano Larisa Martínez throughout North America.

He continues to inspire audiences worldwide through performances\, recordings\, education initiatives\, and innovative collaborations across musical genres. \nLARISA MARTINEZ\, soprano\nInternationally acclaimed soprano Larisa Martínez is widely recognized as one of the most compelling vocal artists of her generation. Born and raised in Puerto Rico\, she is praised for her warm lyric coloratura voice\, expressive musicianship\, and captivating stage presence. Opera News lauded her portrayal of Rossini’s Corinna (Il viaggio a Reims)\, writing that “Ms. Martínez cut an elegant figure\, her deportment on stage matching that of her singing.” \nMs. Martínez has appeared in leading operatic roles including Violetta (La Traviata) with Wichita Grand Opera\, Sophie (Werther) alongside Piotr Beczala\, and Maria (West Side Story) conducted by Lawrence Foster at Festival Napa Valley\, sharing the stage with tenor Michael Fabiano.

She is a proud artistic resident of Turnaround Arts\, championing arts education nationwide. \nPETER DUGAN\, piano\nPianist Peter Dugan is celebrated for performances that combine virtuosity\, versatility\, and bold musical imagination. His debut appearances with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony were described by the Los Angeles Times as “stunning” and by the San Francisco Chronicle as “fearlessly athletic.” Heard nationwide as the host of NPR’s From the Top\, Dugan maintains an active career as a soloist\, recitalist\, and chamber musician across North America and abroad. \nA sought-after multi-genre artist\, Dugan has collaborated with musicians and artists ranging from Itzhak Perlman\, Renée Fleming\, and Joshua Bell to Jesse Colin Young and Glenn Close.

SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings
DESCRIPTION:1776 was more than a turning point; it marked the birth of a new world order. A bold line was drawn as ordinary people made extraordinary decisions\, declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth. Driven by youthful fire\, they believed in the promise of liberty more than they feared the cost of pursuing it.\nHistoric Beverly proudly presents The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings\, a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of artworks commissioned to illustrate Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr.’s landmark book.\nThese paintings are featured in Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary The American Revolution. The exhibit will be on display at the Cabot House from September 6\, 2025 to July 4\, 2026. Tickets are free and open to the public
