Texas Music Festival Chamber Music Series: Matthew Dirst, Faculty, and Fellows
Tuesday, June 10, 2025
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Music has the power to transport us across time, around the world, and into the sublime and mysterious realms of the spirit. This concert begins with a sonic portrait of Houston’s own Rothko Chapel, then whirls through the famous churches of Rome, lounges in an ornamented interior of Venice, then swaggers, carefree through the streets of roaring-twenties Paris. We are honored to feature the renowned harpsichordist and Ars Lyrica Houston Artistic Director, Mathew Dirst, as he helps guide select Texas Music Festival fellows and our faculty through an eclectic tour of baroque and new music masterworks.
Program to include:
Lee R. Kesselman: Blocks for Bassoon Quartet
Francesco Geminiani: Concerto Grosso in D minor
Caroline Shaw: "Stucco & Brocatelle"
Andrew Norman: “Sabina” from A Companion’s Guide to Rome
Francis Poulenc: Sextet for Winds and Piano FP 100

Important Construction & Parking Update
As part of the ongoing enhancements to our campus through the Wilhelmina’s Grove Renovation (March 2024–October 2025) and the upcoming Loop Road Construction (December 2024–October 2025), several areas near our venues will experience temporary closures and access adjustments.
Please note:
-
Zone B / Parking Lot 16 will be closed from May 23 to August 1, 2025.
-
Phase 1 construction in front of the Moores School of Music will be completed in July 2025, and fencing in that area will be removed.
We encourage all visitors to check the Construction Navigation and Parking website for the most current parking options, detailed maps, and updated walking and driving directions.
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to create a more vibrant, accessible, and welcoming environment for our community.
