The Foundation is co-sponsoring a concert with the Metropolitan Museum to commemorate the 400th anniversary of El Greco’s death. Renowned early music ensemble Capella de Ministrers will present a program from their release “El Greco, El Viaje Musical,” which celebrates music iconic to the important places in El Greco’s life.

The concert will be held in the Museum’s 16th century patio from the Andalusian castle, Vélez Blanco. This intimate venue mirrors the palatial residences of El Greco in Rome and Toledo, where generous patronage allowed the artist to enjoy salaried musicians nightly at his dinners.

The concert coincides with the Museum’s forthcoming exhibit “El Greco in New York,” which opened  last week. There will be two performances:
Dec 12, 7 pm
Dec 13, 7 pm

Tickets are $85 and extremely limited. (Please contact the Met Box Office at 212-570-3949 to reserve.) The Foundation will have a limited number of complimentary tickets available to students and faculty. Please contact Antoni Piza for availability.
