Up or down? Fast or slow? Near or far?

Perception is how we make sense of a complicated world. Longy’s season opener is an invitation, or maybe a directive, to pay attention to the way you pay attention.
Faculty, students, and alumni open the 26/27 season with works by Andy Akiho, Eve Beglarian, Helmut Lachenmann, Vicente Lusitano, Pauline Oliveros, Sigur Rós, Radiohead, and more, toying with the senses we take for granted.

Main Stage Series
Main Stage events are where the magic happens. Experience performances that inspire, challenge, and resonate long after the final note. You’ll hear bold artistic ideas and exceptional musicianship, often featuring Longy’s distinguished faculty-artists and innovative artistic partners. Each event offers a rare opportunity to be part of artistry that is both inspirational in the moment and lasting in its impact.

Longy’s performances are free and open to the public, but please register in advance.
