First Monday at Jordan Hall

Whether playing in orchestras, performing in chamber music, singing in opera, oratorio or recital, New England Conservatory graduates have gone on to make important contributions to the musical life of Boston, New England, the United States, and the world.  In the 26th season of First Monday at Jordan Hall, founder and artistic director Laurence Lesser pays tribute to these NEC alumni, inviting them back to the musical font to perform with current faculty, students and friends. Lesser’s goal: “Every piece on every program will include at least one alumni performer.” He explains: “This is a great moment for NEC, because the depth and quality of the alumni pool is truly wonderful.” Performers who are NEC alumni are designated by an asterisk.
