Tafelmusik: House of Dreams

This past Saturday evening, my wife and I saw a concert given by Tafelmusik whom we have seen before. They were in town to present their “House of Dreams” multi-media experience, which was fantastic. They spent several years locating five houses in Europe that featured art and music in their history to create a musical and visual experience. This permitted the audience to take a tour of the five homes, with art by Vermeer, Canaletto, and Watteau digitally put back, while listening to Handel, Bach, Marais and Vivaldi. Like their Galileo Project, it was a unique experience for the senses. As always, would see them again and again.
