One Year Since the Relaunch of Frick Concerts!

On May 8, 2026, Emi Ferguson & Ruckus performed "by GEORGE!," miniature fantasies of Ligeti & Telemann, in The Frick Collection’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium.

We’re proud to celebrate our first full year of concerts in our new auditorium. Since April 26, 2025, we’ve organized some thirty concerts highlighting the breadth and vitality of classical music in this beautiful new venue, which The New York Times described as a “gift to New York.”

Jeremy Ney, Head of Music and Performance, oversees the Frick’s music and performance programming, building on the institution’s longstanding tradition of excellence in classical music. The re-established music program under his leadership has explored new connections between musical history and our collections and exhibitions.
