Chamber Music II: Harpsichordist Matthew Dirst, Faculty, and Fellows
Music has the power to transport us across time, around the world, and into the sublime and mysterious realms of the spirit. This concert begins with a sonic portrait of Houston’s own Rothko Chapel, then whirls through the famous churches of Rome, lounges in an ornamented interior of Venice, then swaggers, carefree through the streets of roaring-twenties Paris. We are honored to feature the renowned harpsichordist and Ars Lyrica Houston Artistic Director, Mathew Dirst, as he helps guide select Texas Music Festival fellows and our faculty through an eclectic tour of baroque and new music masterworks.

Lee R. Kesselman: Blocks for Bassoon Quartet
