Drawing inspiration from the city’s vibrant cultural mosaic and boundary-bending spirit\, the ensemble forges a distinctive musical identity shaped by diversity\, spontaneity\, and bold artistic curiosity. Its members represent nine countries across four continents\, and their programs juxtapose music from across eras and styles\, creating performances that invite audiences into deeply human and immediate musical experiences. \nPraised as “ferocious and rhythmically mesmerizing” by San Francisco Classical Voice\, Delirium Musicum is widely recognized for its out-of-the-box programming and electrifying live performances. Los Angeles Times critic Mark Swed describes the group as “a step ahead\, ready for anything—virtuosic and versatile.” Through concerts\, tours\, recordings\, and multimedia projects\, the ensemble reaches audiences of wide-ranging backgrounds and musical tastes. \nDelirium Musicum’s debut album\, Seasons\, was released on Warner Classics in April 2023 to international acclaim. Critics across Europe praised the ensemble’s intensity\, urgency\, and ability to connect deeply with listeners\, with Diapason noting the group’s energy and tension in its vivid interpretations. Recent projects include Treelogy\, a three-part collaborative work with composers Billy Childs\, Steven Mackey\, and Gabriella Smith\, commissioned by The Soraya and premiered in Los Angeles in 2023. Inspired by California’s Joshua trees\, sequoias\, and redwoods devastated by wildfires\, the project was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a sublime\, classical ode to California’s redwoods\, sequoias and Joshua trees.” \nCommunity engagement is central to Delirium Musicum’s mission. During the pandemic\, Gara and violinist YuEun Kim launched MusiKaravan\, traveling the West Coast in a 1971 VW bus to perform socially distanced concerts for diverse communities. The project evolved into an award-winning streaming series and continues today. The ensemble also presents Baby Concerts\, developed with USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute\, offering interactive musical experiences for infants\, toddlers\, and caregivers. \nDelirium Musicum has received numerous honors\, including a Global Music Awards Silver Medal\, and in 2025 swept all five categories in the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards\, affirming its place as one of today’s most exciting and innovative ensembles.

He has performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world and maintains an extraordinarily active career as a soloist\, recitalist\, chamber musician\, conductor\, and Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. In 2025\, Bell was awarded an honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by King Charles III for services to music. \nHighlights of Bell’s 2024–25 season include the release of two new albums: Thomas De Hartmann Rediscovered\, featuring the world premiere recording of De Hartmann’s Violin Concerto with the INSO-Lviv Orchestra\, and an album of Mendelssohn piano trios recorded with longtime collaborators Jeremy Denk and Steven Isserlis.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico\, she is praised for her warm lyric coloratura voice\, expressive musicianship\, and captivating stage presence. Opera News lauded her portrayal of Rossini’s Corinna (Il viaggio a Reims)\, writing that “Ms. Martínez cut an elegant figure\, her deportment on stage matching that of her singing.” \nMs. Martínez has appeared in leading operatic roles including Violetta (La Traviata) with Wichita Grand Opera\, Sophie (Werther) alongside Piotr Beczala\, and Maria (West Side Story) conducted by Lawrence Foster at Festival Napa Valley\, sharing the stage with tenor Michael Fabiano.

Guests will then move to the newly refreshed Shalin Liu Performance Center for a special performance by internationally acclaimed pianist Yuja Wang. Renowned for her extraordinary virtuosity\, interpretive depth\, and commanding stage presence\, Wang will deliver a thrilling conclusion to an unforgettable night. \nWe are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to celebrating the joy of music with you! \nYuja Wang\, piano\nPianist Yuja Wang is internationally acclaimed for her charismatic artistry\, emotional honesty\, and commanding stage presence. Renowned for both her extraordinary virtuosity and the spontaneity of her performances\, she is one of the most compelling classical artists of our time\, appearing regularly with the world’s leading orchestras\, conductors\, and musicians. As she has noted in The New York Times\, “I firmly believe every program should have its own life\,” a philosophy that shapes her bold and deeply personal approach to music-making. \nBorn into a musical family in Beijing\, Wang began piano studies at an early age before pursuing advanced training in Canada and later at the Curtis Institute of Music\, where she studied with Gary Graffman. Her international breakthrough came in 2007\, when she stepped in for Martha Argerich as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, launching a major global career. Two years later\, she signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon\, cementing her position among the leading pianists of her generation. \nWang’s artistic daring was recently showcased in a landmark marathon performance at Carnegie Hall\, where she joined Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra to perform all four of Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in a single afternoon\, celebrating the composer’s 150th anniversary. A passionate advocate for contemporary music\, she has also given the world premiere of Magnus Lindberg’s Piano Concerto No. 3. \nHer recordings have earned numerous honors\, including Musical America’s Artist of the Year and an Opus Klassik Award. With her fearless programming and vivid musical imagination\, Yuja Wang continues to redefine the role of the classical artist in the 21st century. \n“Yuja Wang was the brilliant pianist\, projecting the solo part to a nicety and getting every note to glitter.” –Financial Times \nGala Table Sponsors\nIMPRESARIO — $20\,000 (12 VIP tickets)\nInvitation to post-concert reception with the artists\nTable host will be invited to 2 exclusive chamber music events featuring high profile artists \nVIRTUOSO— $10\,000 (8 VIP tickets)\nInvitation to post-concert reception with the artists \nMAESTRO — $5\,000 (4 VIP tickets) \nADDITIONAL BENEFITS\nPremier concert & VIP dinner table seating\nVIP post-concert dessert reception with the artists\nListing in Gala materials\nInvitation to the Season Kick-off Party \nGala Tickets\nBENEFACTOR — $1\,250\nListing in Gala materials \nPATRON — $900 \nConcert tickets will not be mailed.\nAll Gala tickets will be provided upon arrival at the Gala Check-in table.\nRockport Music is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring a love and understanding of music through exceptional live performances and creative learning opportunities.\nPlease Note: Only the tax-deductible portion of the event can be made through a donor advised fund. \nTo reserve your seat at Rockport Music’s Summer Gala\, please contact Susan Rogers\, Senior Development Officer\, at 978.546.7391 ext. 106 or srogers@rockportmusic.org.

SUMMARY:Greg Hawkes & Eddie Japan Performing the Music of The Cars

The Cars had four Top 10 hits: “Shake It Up” (1981)\, “You Might Think\,” (1984)\, “Drive” (1984)\, and “Tonight She Comes” (1985). The band won Video of the Year for “You Might Think” at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984 \nIn 2016\, Greg collaborated with the acclaimed Boston band Eddie Japan to produce their 2017 album Golden Age.
