Shriver Hall Concert Series — Baltimore’s premier presenter of chamber music ensembles and solo recitalists — today announces its 60th anniversary and 2025-26 concert season. For six decades, SHCS has created unforgettable musical experiences in the intimacy of Shriver Hall. The upcoming season builds on this legacy with a vibrant lineup of programs featuring enduring masterworks and fresh perspectives, from Bach to Beethoven to Billy Childs.

Ian Bostridge's recital on March 9th was his first return to the Balimore in more than 15 years. Joined by his longtime collaborator pianist Julius Drake, the acclaimed English tenor presented a recital of works by John Dowland, Gerald Finzi, Franz Schubert, Roger Quilter, Ivor Gurney, Erich Korngold, and Benjamin Britten. The first half featured texts by William Shakespeare and the second was comprised of Britten's song cycle The Holy Sonnets of John Donne.
