In conjunction with In Caravaggio’s Light, the MFA is pleased to present a special performance by St. Pete Baroque, a dynamic local ensemble devoted to reviving the spirit, spontaneity, and emotional richness of Baroque music. This program will blend exquisite musical performance with engaging historical context, giving audiences insight into the social, cultural, and artistic currents that shaped the Baroque period.
From well-known masterworks to lesser-known compositions, the program showcases the improvisatory flair, ornate style, and expressive power that defined music from 1600 – 1750, the same era that produced the dramatic, emotionally charged paintings featured in the special exhibition. Between pieces, the musicians will offer brief reflections on the Baroque era’s aesthetic values, compositional innovations, and the musical equivalents of chiaroscuro, further connecting the music to the art on view.
