Grammy-nominated Ars Lyrica Houston fills the exhibition galleries of Life & Luxury: The Art of Living in Eighteenth-Century Paris with music for an aristocratic home. This exhibition reimagines the lifestyle of elite 18th-century Parisians through the activities of a single day: dressing, writing, collecting, eating, and evening entertainment. Join Ars Lyrica to celebrate the opening day of the exhibition through lively period concerts featuring character pieces, a sonata or two, and a cantata. 


Generously sponsored by Birgitt van Wijk.
