2025-2026 Concert Season
Our 119th season, held exclusively at The Kosciuszko Foundation, pays tribute to The Bohemians’ founding ideals. The Club’s very first concert in 1908 featured new music, and we are proud to continue this tradition. Our 2025–2026 programming spans centuries and cultures—from Baroque harp to jazz piano—and includes two world premieres. There are several exciting developments this year, including the addition of a sixth concert to our season’s events.
This season marks the launch of the inaugural Bohemians Artist Residency & Levinson Arts Achievement Award, administered by The New York Community Trust. The award supports young artists who demonstrate exceptional promise and creativity, providing professionally produced career assets such as recording, branding, and performance opportunities, culminating in a New York City debut presented by The Bohemians on March 18, 2026. Learn more about the residency and this year’s recipient, The Cerus Quartet, at bohemiansnyc.org.
The 2025–2026 season also officially launches The Boho Beat, a new podcast hosted by twin pianists and Bohemians student members Abby and Emma Chen. The podcast is available to stream directly on our website and on all major platforms.
Newly released video content from last season—featuring professionally recorded audio by Geryon Sound—is now available in our online video archives, with more to come throughout the season.To listen to the podcast or view our videos, please create or log in to your Bohemians online account.
