Sinister Streets Sinister Streets & Salem Stories& Salem Stories

Looking to combine your museum visit with a walking tour? Join us for a behind-the-scenes guided tour that pairs our most popular, haunting walking tour with an inside look at objects from the PEM collection. Sinister Streets &amp; Salem Stories starts at the Ward House, which stood within sight of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials hangings on Gallows Hill, and within earshot of the cries of the accused from the Salem jail. Winding through more dark secrets from the city’s past, it finishes by following the steps of a notorious murderer into the Gardner-Pingree House. The killing of Joseph White gripped Salem and the country in 1830 with its brawling brothers, custom-built murder weapons, conspiring family members and a body that was autopsied three times. Follow PEM’s expert guides into the room where it happened – then head into the museum to visit our exhibition Salem Stories and see the real club used by White's killers. This is an indoor/outdoor tour. Please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. We’ll see you rain or shine! This tour involves walking around 0.5 miles, standing on hard surfaces and the use of stairs. Historic structures are not ADA accessible. Strollers may be used on the tours, but may not be brought into any of the historic structures. Historic houses may include areas of low lighting and uneven surfaces.

The High Kings

Ireland’s leading folk group, The High Kings, are set to excite fans once again with the announcement of their Rocky Road Tour 2026. As global ambassadors of Irish heritage and storytelling, The High Kings have consistently brought the timeless tradition of folk music to audiences worldwide, earning them chart-topping success and widespread acclaim. “A Folk Juggernaut” – The New York Times With their signature blend of classic tradition and modern edge, The Rocky Road Tour promises to be a vibrant showcase of Irish culture, energy, and musicality. Following a record-breaking 2024 – including a sold-out world tour, a feature on Disney’s critically acclaimed Only Murders in The Building, and over 5 million weekly streams – the band are showing no signs of slowing down. Their momentum continued in 2025 with a string of sold-out U.S. tour dates, culminating in a headline performance at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles on March 23rd, after stops in Kansas, Nashville, St. Paul, St. Louis, New York, New Hampton, Glen Ellen, Ridgefield, Alexandria, and more. But it was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners—the current #1 movie worldwide, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler—that marked a defining moment in their global recognition.

After attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year, Göransson selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently in the film’s score. The Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success, offering audiences a high-energy live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk.

Yuja Wang, piano

Rockport Music Gala 2026 Midsummer Celebration FRIDAY, JULY 10 Cocktail Party and Dinner, 5 PM | Millbrook Meadow Concert, 8 PM | Concert Hall Shalin Liu Performance Center Join Rockport Music for our 2026 Rockport Music Gala: Midsummer Celebration on Friday, July 10—a memorable evening featuring internationally acclaimed pianist Yuja Wang. Our elegant evening begins with cocktails and a gourmet dinner beneath a beautifully-appointed tent in the charming setting of Millbrook Meadow. 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. We are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to celebrating the joy of music with you! Yuja Wang, piano Pianist 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. Born 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. Wang’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. Her 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. “Yuja Wang was the brilliant pianist, projecting the solo part to a nicety and getting every note to glitter.” –Financial Times Gala Table Sponsors IMPRESARIO — $20,000 (12 VIP tickets) Invitation to post-concert reception with the artists Table host will be invited to 2 exclusive chamber music events featuring high profile artists VIRTUOSO— $10,000 (8 VIP tickets) Invitation to post-concert reception with the artists MAESTRO — $5,000 (4 VIP tickets) ADDITIONAL BENEFITS Premier concert &amp; VIP dinner table seating VIP post-concert dessert reception with the artists Listing in Gala materials Invitation to the Season Kick-off Party Gala Tickets BENEFACTOR — $1,250 Listing in Gala materials PATRON — $900 Concert tickets will not be mailed.
