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, with viol virtuoso Mary Springfels, violinist Sean Wang, baritone Charles Stanton, and artistic director Matthew Dirst on harpsichord. 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 us to celebrate Ars Lyrica’s first performance of the 2011-2012 season and the opening day of the MFAH exhibition.
