William Christie live in Boston

Experience William Christie live on November 7th

William Christie will appear in concert at Jordan Hall in Boston, Massachusetts on November 7, 2026. Christie is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the historically informed performance of Baroque and early Classical music. His work focuses on reviving operatic and instrumental repertoire from the 17th and 18th centuries, utilizing period instruments and scholarly research to recreate authentic sounds and performance practices of the era. He founded Les Arts Florissants in 1979, a renowned ensemble dedicated to this approach, and has conducted extensively with leading orchestras and opera houses worldwide.

Jordan Hall, the concert venue, opened in 1903 and is located on the New England Conservatory campus. Designed by Warren & Wetmore – also responsible for Grand Central Terminal in New York City – it is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics. The hall’s design intentionally modeled after Berlin’s Bechstein Hall, prioritizing natural reverberation rather than relying on amplification. Throughout its history, Jordan Hall has hosted performances by prominent musicians across various genres, becoming a significant landmark for musical performance in Boston. It remains a central performance space for the New England Conservatory and welcomes visiting ensembles and soloists regularly.
