The repertoire performed at each concert is inspired by the art on view in the gallery in which the performance occurs.

This evening’s program, titled “The English Orpheus: Instrumental Music by Henry Purcell,” showcases the Baroque Chamber Ensembles from Case Western Reserve University’s Historical Performance Practice Program, under the direction of Jaap ter Linden, performing in the Donna and James Reid Gallery of Italian Baroque art (gallery 217).

The Chamber Music in the Galleries series occurs on the first Wednesday of each month, December through May, with the exception of January.
