The Museum is indeed a great venue for this kind of a concert, in large part                  because its patrons are a fantastic audience!  The Courtroom Gallery has good              acoustics because of its wood and plaster construction, and it holds an intimate              audience.  Since the concert last year sold out, we considered going                  for a bigger venue, but instead decided to do two performances of                the same material.  I really hope people don't feel any hesitation about                      coming to these concerts, just because it's so-called Baroque music.  The                        Museum setting naturally lends itself to an informal learning experience, and                the performers look forward to talking about the music, the instruments and                the context in which it was originally performed.  We will also provide written              texts and translations of all the songs.  But I don't think you actually need to                know ANYTHING about this music to enjoy it.  It's just beautiful to listen to!
