The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) has unveiled its 2025-26 Performing Arts Series, a comprehensive program featuring a wide array of internationally acclaimed musicians and performers. The series, set to run from September 2025 through May 2026, will span genres including classical and contemporary music, global music traditions, and dance, often complementing the museum’s special exhibitions and permanent collection.

Highlights of the season include performances by Grammy-winning and nominated artists such as the Brad Mehldau Trio, Tigran Hamasyan, Judith Hill, the Isidore String Quartet with Jeremy Denk, Makaya McCraven, and Becca Stevens. The series aims to offer new experiences, including an intimate concert by Becca Stevens with the audience on stage, the debut of Omar Sosa’s new trio, and a performance by Cleveland Ballet inspired by the museum’s exhibition “In Vino Veritas (In Wine, Truth).” Performances will take place in Gartner Auditorium as well as other museum spaces.
