Soloists & Piano

Great artists give free concerts at New England Conservatory—simply because they teach here.

Other opportunities to experience knockout performances by solo instrumentalists include concertos on most of our orchestral concerts, and other special programming.

Upcoming concerts

2012-05-24 Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations
