LATE FRIDAYS: MUSIC IN THE GALLERIES
Music and the visual arts harmonize at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
In response to the exhibition Art and Life in Imperial Rome: Trajan and His Times, Ars Lyrica Houston explores the soundscapes of early Italian music. The string quartet plays music from the 17th and 18th centuries that harkens back to the Classical era and resonates with the works on view.
Music in the Galleries is a monthly series that brings Houston’s renowned music ensembles and solo performers into the Museum’s immersive gallery spaces. Looking for more to do during Late Friday? Enjoy a drink at Happy Hour Friday or join a guided tour of the galleries.

Founded by harpsichordist and conductor Matthew Dirst, this Grammy-nominated ensemble seeks to harness the continued vitality and expressive power of classical music.
