The Gessner-Schocken Concert Series at Longy is hosted by the Gessner family and honors the legacy and foresight of Ruth Gessner-Schocken, musician, educator, and philanthropist. A longtime supporter and faculty member at Longy, Ruth established this series through a legacy gift to the School, making an exceptional contribution that will ensure this concert series continues throughout the decades.
Experience the magic of two musical storytellers at the height of their powers. Clarinetist David Krakauer and pianist Kathleen Tagg blend virtuosity with irresistible personality, creating a performance that is as playful as it is profound. Expect music that moves, surprises, and stays with you.
