Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: Miranda Cuckson and Blair McMillen
A musician’s musician, violinist Miranda Cuckson comes to the Gardner Museum with pianist Blair McMillen to present a program comprising nearly two hundred years of violin music—from Beethoven’s Sonata in G, Op. 30, No. 3 (1802) to Lili Boulanger’s D'un matin de printemps (1918) to Jamaican-British composer Eleanor Alberga’s The Wild Blue Yonder (1995). The centerpiece of the concert is Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 80 (1946), an ideal showcase for Cuckson’s virtuosity and range of expressive colors.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s Fall 2025 Weekend Concert Series features an eleven-concert autumn season curated by Abrams Curator of Music George Steel running from September 13 through November 23, 2025. The fall season showcases world-class artists in the Museum’s extraordinary Calderwood Hall—a 300-seat “sonic cube” with three levels of balconies designed so that 80% of seats are front row, creating a uniquely intense and intentional listening experience. Dating to 1927, the Gardner’s Weekend Concert Series is the longest running museum music program in the country.
