In 2016 fortepiano phenomenon Kristian Bezuidenhout brought this unique instrument to life in a rare treat for Coolidge audiences. Known for his thoughtful and energetic performances of concerti, Lieder, chamber music and solo repertoire, Bezuidenhout trains his eye on some of the riches of the mid-1790s for his appearance at the Library.

In 2018, The Doric Quartet performed Beethoven’s op. 130 with its original finale, the still avant-garde Grosse Fuge at the Concerts from the Library of Congress. Charismatic, commanding performances and eloquent recordings of the complete Schumann and Korngold quartets explain Gramophone’s description of the group: “musicians with fascinating things to say.”

Revived the 2018 performance of Europa Galante. Founded by the brilliant violinist and conductor Fabio Biondi, Italy’s Europa Galante is one of the world’s most admired period performance ensembles, particularly known for masterly performances of the music of Antonio Vivaldi. The concert highlighted two of his dazzlingly imaginative Concerti dell’ Addio, the Farewell Concertos written in the final year of his life, and works by Venetian and Viennese contemporaries who may have influenced him.
