What Makes It Great with Rob Kapilow

Rob Kapilow is bringing his What Makes It Great series to Jordan Hall. This program, now in its 27th season, focuses on dissecting a well-known piece of music, often classical or jazz, to illuminate its structure and enduring appeal. Kapilow, a composer and conductor, uses a piano and sometimes additional musicians to illustrate his points before the full performance. This event is on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at Jordan Hall in Boston, MA. It's an afternoon show, a good fit for music enthusiasts who appreciate a deeper understanding of the works they enjoy. The format is part lecture, part performance, designed for those interested in musical analysis.
