Grace Farms, a cultural and humanitarian center in New Canaan, CT, has announced the lineup of performers and speakers for the 2026-27 season of its annual concert and lecture series. The venue is located near Westchester County, mere minutes beyond New York State’s border with Connecticut. Its performers this season include acclaimed musicians such as Leslie Odom, Jr., Nemanja Radulović, and Alam Khan.
Almost all the events comprising this year’s performance series will take place in Grace Farms’ River building, a one-of-a-kind glass-enclosed performing arts space that offers 360-degree views of the beautiful landscape.
The opening of each performance season includes a discussion with a featured visual artist. The 2026-27 season opened on Sept. 13 and spotlighted visual artist Teresita Fernández. In Fernández’s discussion with Grace Farms’ Founding Creative Director, Chelsea Thatcher, she discussed her on-site art installation, Double Glass River.
Leslie Odom, Jr., well known for his award-winning performance as Aaron Burr in the Broadway musical Hamilton, headlines this year’s season. His show on Sept. 26 will include renditions of songs from Hamilton, among other musical selections.
In addition to the powerful lineup of musicians in the Music at Grace Farms series, the venue also hosts an annual Lectures with Concert series. These events pair thought-provoking and visionary speakers with chamber music concerts that respond to the lecturers. Celebrated leaders Dr. Danielle Allen, Dr. Hannah Rose Thomas, and Dr. Sian Leah Beilock will give lectures as part of this series, and each lecture will be followed by a different set of musical performers.
The organizing theme for this year’s concert and lecture series is “We all build.” The season began on Sept. 13 and will run until May 8, 2027. Tickets for individual events are available on Grace Farms’ website.
