CANTARE Houston announces the return of its "walking concerts" through the galleries of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston – the popular concerts which began the collaboration between our two arts organizations so many years ago! These unique performances pair the musical excellence of CANTARE's singers with the magnificent artwork of Houston's most treasured museum. Curator Helga Aurisch will lead the audience through the Museum's galleries – providing commentary on the art, culture, history and inspiration for these collected masterpieces – as CANTARE performs choral selections contemporary with the period.

Tickets for these concerts are extremely limited, so don't delay. "Seats" will go fast! Get yours today, and be one of the select few to experience this exclusive cultural event, complete with a wine and champagne reception, as well as attractive prizes and give-aways!
