    The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and Ars Lyrica Houston presents Gallery Concerts: “Life & Luxury” Music for a Paris Salon,  Sunday, September 18, in the Audrey Jones Beck Building. There will be an informal concert at 3pm and a ticketed concert at 7pm.

    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. 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 Ars Lyrica to celebrate the opening day of the exhibition through lively period concerts featuring character pieces, a sonata or two, and a cantata.

    Limited campstool seating available. Admission to the afternoon program is open to the public and free with general museum admission. Tickets for the 7 pm performance are required and available to purchase online. A reception to meet the performers follows both performances.
