Old Masters of Music and Art

Four times annually the Museum hosts free Sunday afternoon concerts curated in conjunction with the San Diego Early Music Society. Performed alongside works of European art in the Hibben Gallery, these concerts involve vocals and instruments from the Medieval, Baroque, and Renaissance periods. 

Holding concerts within the gallery space allows an opportunity to experience art in the context and to draw connections between the music and art of the period. Past performances have included the choral ensemble, Sacra Profana, Gregorian chant chorale, Schola Pacifica, and Stromenti con Voci. Email us for more information.
