The Well-Tempered Clavier at Rienzi Concert II - June Performance

The Well-Tempered Clavier at Rienzi Concert II
Sunday, June 4 at 6 pm
Rienzi, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Rienzi is a jewel in the crown of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Its dramatic setting, focused on the European decorative arts, is the perfect pairing for our historically informed performances. Be transported to another time and place through these immersive musical experiences.

Ars Lyrica Artistic Director Matthew Dirst continues his survey of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier with two performances of excerpts from Book 1 in the sumptuous surroundings of Rienzi, the house museum for European decorative arts of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The featured instrument, inspired by the work of the Gräbner family in Dresden in the early eighteenth century, is visually and acoustically stunning, a perfect complement to the Baroque-era décor at Rienzi.
