Isabelle Faust, Solo Violin

Concerts Celebrated violinist Isabelle Faust makes her Frick debut with a program that traces the evolution of solo violin writing at the turn of the 18th century. Anchored by two of J.S. Bach’s monumental works for unaccompanied violin—the Sonata No. 2 in A Minor, BWV 1003, and Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004—Faust’s performance highlights the technical complexity and emotional depth of Bach’s writing. Interwoven with these masterworks are rarely heard solo pieces by 17th-century composer Nicola Matteis, whose improvisatory fantasias and dance-inspired ayres evoke the spontaneity and virtuosity of the Italian Baroque. Image Credit: Isabelle Faust, photo by Felix Broede. Performers: Isabelle Faust, Solo Violin. Program: Music by Bach, Matteis. Policies: Concert Policies. Questions: tickets@frick.org.

Autumn Book Club

Library Join Mina Marciano, Storage and Retrieval Lead, in this participatory, discussion-based program centered on the book The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century authored by Kirk Wallace Johnson. In 2009 Edwin Rist broke into Britain's Natural History Museum in Tring and stole 299 bird specimens. Johnson heard about the heist years later on a fly-fishing trip in New Mexico and found that he had more questions than there were answers. The Feather Thief is a culmination of years of investigation and research detailing not only Rist's crime and motivation behind it, but also the history of how these birds were collected and valued. The book is available through the New York Public Library and other libraries. Live captioning will be provided. Questions: library@frick.org. Join Us: Free with Zoom registration.

Les Arts Florissants, Vocal Ensemble led by Paul Agnew

We are grateful to Ayesha Bulchandani for sponsoring the concert on October 26, 2025. Image Credit: Paul Agnew, photo by Vincent-Pontet.

Sonnambula, Ensemble-in-Residence; Davóne Tines, Bass-Baritone

Concerts Sonnambula opens its 2025–26 residency with a performance inspired by Ben Jonson’s Masque of Blackness (1605), an allegorical court entertainment commissioned by Queen Anne of Denmark and originally staged at the Jacobean court. Featuring music by Alfonso Ferrabosco II (only one song of which survives), the masque depicts African nymphs journeying to England to seek racial purification, reflecting early modern England’s racial anxieties and imperial fantasies. Sonnambula, joined by acclaimed bass-baritone Davóne Tines, interweaves instrumental works by Ferrabosco and William Byrd—representing the masque’s lost musical context—with recitations from medieval West African griot sagas such as The Epic of Sundiata and The Epic of Kele Monzon. These tales passed down by West African storytellers (griots) assert the power of oral tradition in preserving historical memory and cultural identity. Through this juxtaposition, the performance quietly unsettles Jonson’s masque, inviting reflection on the contrasting roles… Performers: Sonnambula, Ensemble-in-Residence; Davóne Tines, Bass-Baritone. Program: A Black Masque, (Music by Ferrabosco, Byrd, and Griot texts from the 13th through 18th centuries). Policies: Concert Policies. Questions: tickets@frick.org. Phone: 212-288-0700. Notes: No more than four tickets per concert can be purchased at one time To purchase tickets for multiple concert dates, call 212-288-0700. Tickets Required: Yes. Sunday, November 2, 2025, 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM. Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium.
