A century after his birth, Juilliard alum Miles Davis remains an unparalleled and defining force in jazz.

Led by trumpet player and Juilliard alum and faculty member Tatum Greenblatt, the Juilliard Jazz Orchestra charts the dynamic progression of Miles Davis’ sound. The music moves from chamber-like intimacy to expansive orchestral colors, echoing the many phases of his career. Together, they paint a vivid portrait of a legendary artist whose uncompromising imagination continues to shape the sound of jazz today.

The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler
2026-04-05 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-04-07 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-04-08 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-04-09 12:00 - 20:00 | Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle, New York, NY, 10019, United States
The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler is an invitation into the glamorous, witty, and wonderful universe of celebrated potter and designer Jonathan Adler. In his first curatorial role, Adler presents more than 60 works from the Museum’s permanent collection alongside his own iconic designs. A playful and irreverent perspective on craft history, the exhibition illuminates the designer’s love of objects, materials, and the makers whose legacies precede his own.
The exhibition is organized as a thematic tour of Adler’s fascinations: Authentica celebrates the sleek forms of mid-century modern ceramics; Optimistica embraces exuberance in all its forms; Funkyana and Kottler-ia explore craft’s capacity for satire and subversion; Erotica turns up the heat with sensual works in ceramic, fiber, and glass; and Americalia, Metallica, and Animalia round out the exhibition with patriotic pastiche, glimmering metalwork, and Adler’s Mother Nature-inspired menagerie.
The exhibition installation is designed by Simon Doonan, author, TV personality, legendary window dresser, former Creative Director of Barneys New York—and Adler’s husband. Works from Adler’s own studio appear throughout the exhibition, massed in striking tableaux and staged in a visual dialogue with the Museum’s collection objects. Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design, which deftly combines humor, impeccable style, and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibition marks a return to the time and place it all began—in 1993 he sold his first pots in the Museum’s store (then known as the American Craft Museum). The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler brings his creative journey full circle.

Dana Barnes: Untamed Gestures
2026-04-05 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-04-07 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-04-09 10:00 - 18:00, 2026-04-09 12:00 - 20:00 | Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle, New York, NY, 10019, United States
The first major museum exhibition spotlighting the artist’s singular vision, Dana Barnes: Untamed Gestures features monumental hand-formed fiber works alongside a fully immersive recreation of Barnes’s Lower East Side studio in New York City. Barnes’s sculptural landscapes composed of fibers such as merino, yak, alpaca, and silk create a compelling tactile environment in which motion and stillness, as well as strength and fragility, coexist in dynamic tension. Inspired by the slow, persistent forces of nature, Barnes twists, knots, and fuses her materials into sprawling, living forms that sag, climb, and unfurl across the gallery space. Her works pulse with a quiet vitality, inviting viewers into a dialogue between materiality and metamorphosis.
The exhibition’s immersive studio experience meticulously replicates Barnes’s original workspace, a former 19th-century synagogue once home to Abstract Expressionist painter Pat Passlof. Within the space, visitors will encounter a laboratory of creativity: overflowing sacks of colorful fibers, experimental maquettes, geological fragments, and handmade tools bearing the patina of daily use. A self-directed drawing exercise will invite visitors to participate in the same spirit of wonder and material exploration that animates Barnes’s practice.

Expanding the voices represented in MAD’s permanent collection, OUT of the Jewelry Box considers the importance of queer perspectives in the world of studio and contemporary art jewelry. The exhibition showcases an extraordinary gift from Ron Porter and Joe Price, who have collected and worn art jewelry throughout their forty-one-year relationship, nine of those legally married.
On view are 56 newly acquired works from The Porter Price Collection by queer artists and their allies, and 22 pieces by queer artists already represented in MAD’s permanent collection. The jewelry dates from the 1950s to the present, and stories from the artists and collectors about the role of jewelry in the construction of queer histories and identities accompany each work.

Syncopated Stages: Black Disruptions to the Great White Way
2026-04-07 10:30 - 18:00, 2026-04-08 10:30 - 18:00 | The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, 10023, United States
Although the common nickname for Broadway, “the Great White Way,” refers, historically, to its dazzling lights, the phrase also suggests the ways in which many histories of New York theater center white artists. Black artists, though, have been important shapers of musical theater in the United States before the electric light was ever used on stage. In the early 20th century, Black composers and writers created many popular musicals in New York that helped define the genre, setting it apart from 19th-century traditions. New forms of syncopation, the disruption of the dominant rhythm, and narratives composed and written by Black artists challenged the prevailing sounds and depictions of Black people on stage. These innovations were more than stylistic. They pushed back against exclusion and stereotype, laying the groundwork for generations of Black artists whose contributions have reshaped Broadway. Syncopated Stages spotlights their work, acknowledges the challenges they faced, and celebrates the brilliance of what they made. We invite you to explore how Black artists transformed the New York stage and how their work still reverberates today.
This exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and curated by playwright, professor, and scholar Michael Dinwiddie.

New York Classical Players Present: Mozart to Modernity
2026-04-07 19:00 - 20:30 | The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, 10023, United States
The New York Classical Players perform a program exploring the evolution of musical dialogue from raw intimacy to symphonic exuberance. The journey begins with Erwin Schulhoff’s Duo for Violin and Cello, where folk energy meets the edgy defiance of 1920s modernism, followed by the timeless clarity and lyrical poise of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Kegelstatt Trio. The evening culminates in Ernő Dohnányi’s Sextet in C Major, a “mini-orchestral” masterwork that masterfully bridges late-Romantic passion with the witty, jazz-inflected spirit of a new era.
