Five-time GRAMMY® Award winner Angélique Kidjo is one of the most powerful voices in global music today.

John Malkovich in The Music Critic
McCarter Theatre
Friday, April 17, 2026 at 7:30 PM
Aleksey Igudesman has created a sardonic mix of the most evil music critiques of the last centuries written about some of the greatest works of music. Equipped with a frivolous potpourri of musical insults, John Malkovich slips into the role of the evil critic who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofiev and
the likes to be weary and dreary. Aleksey Igudesman, Hyung-ki Joo and other great musicians beg to differ and fight back. The grand finale is “The Malkovich Torment”, a horrific review about Malkovich himself,
which Igudesman has set to music in a uniquely sardonically humorous way.
João Bosco
McCarter Theatre
Saturday, April 25 at 7:30 PM
João Boscohas reason to celebrate. He kicks off his U.S. tour in celebration of his 80th birthday and more than 50 years of his career with a special performance at McCarter, cementing his status as one of the most influential figures in modern Brazilian music.
