Concerts From The Library of Congress

After a year tooting our collective horns for the centennial season of Concerts from the Library of Congress, we decided not to stop! The celebration continues in 2025-2026 as we embark on a new century of programming at the intersection of tradition and innovation. In a nod to the first chamber music festival that inaugurated the Coolidge Auditorium in October of 1925, our own mini-festival on October 29-30 will raise the roof 101 years after the concerts that started it all.

Join us this fall for a kaleidoscopic array of concerts and conversations, commissions from composers Raven Chacon and Sir George Benjamin, and lectures and film screenings that span the gamut to herald a century of extraordinary music at the nation’s library.
