The 2026-27 Dallas Morse Coors Concert Series (DMCCS) bridges history and innovation, spotlighting artists whose work spans Afro‑Cuban jazz, dynamic orchestral collaboration, the timeless voice of Bach and a powerful exchange between Indian and American musical traditions.

The series of global artistry and musical excellence at Bailey Hall opens on Oct. 23 with Chucho Valdés’ 85th Birthday Celebration, honoring the legendary pioneer of Afro‑Cuban jazz. On Nov. 21, genre‑defying trio Time for Three joins forces with the Cornell Symphony Orchestra in a program that pushes musical boundaries while inspiring the next generation of artists.

Feb. 28 brings an intimate collaboration between violinist Isabelle Faust and harpsichordist Kristian Bezuidenhout, featuring Bach sonatas alongside works by Biber, Froberger and others. The season concludes on March 20 with Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East, a vibrant celebration of the interplay among global musical traditions. Complete details are listed below and at cornellconcertseries.com.
