MUSE Gallery

Gather with us this Thanksgiving Sunday for a warm, restorative afternoon of chamber music designed for the quiet spaces of the heart. 

Our program explores the delicate musical dialogues of the French and German high baroque courts. You will travel from the private royal chambers of Paris with the elegant, dance-infused suites of Michel de La Barre and Jacques-Martin Hotteterre, to the brilliant, expressive sonatas of Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Joachim Quantz. In a season of gratitude, join us to experience these masterworks exactly as they were meant to be heard: up close, conversational, and deeply moving.
