Celebrity Series is excited to announce our 2021/22 CS at Home season, featuring digital performances live streamed from local Boston venues. Leveraging the world-class facilities at GBH and Symphony Hall, and the intimacy of Longy’s Pickman Hall, the seven ticketed concerts this fall bring world-class artistry into the homes of audience members. They’re a perfect complement to re-watch a performance after attending the live event, or just simply watching the concert from home.
