Music at the Meadows: Orchestra of New Spain

Friday, March 30, 2012 - 6:30pm
Virginia Meadows Galleries - Meadows Museum
Free; reservations required

This concert is presented in conjunction with the Meadows Museum exhibition The Invention of Glory: Afonso V and the Pastrana Tapestries. The arts of tapestry weaving and music shared a rich relationship in Flanders at the time of the creation of the Pastrana tapestries. They were both the purview of the wealthy, and they were both arts that set the standard for all of Europe. Flemish composers influenced the Italian Renaissance and Spain, and even took on Italianized names. At the same time a new musical life was emerging in what is now Valencia. Join us to see and hear the early Renaissance Flemish arts. Reservations for free admission to the concert are available at orchestraofnewspain.org or 214.750.1492. Seating is limited and reservations will be held until 6:15 p.m.
