The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of our longest standing partners — for years we’ve brought crowds into the fabled halls of that grandest museum to experience the MetLiveArts branch of their great cultural work. And on March 7th, oh boy are they bringing the fire - Apollo’s Fire as a matter of fact. Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra is one of the most visionary and forward-thinking early music ensembles working today, and we’re invited to witness their creation for a Night Out at the Museum.

The evening is called O Jerusalem! Crossroads of Three Faiths and it’s a brilliant and inspired mashup of the music and poetry that was swirling around 16th and 17th century Jerusalem - a time and place where Christian, Jews, and Muslims co-existed in meaningfully harmonious way. The evening features Sabbath prayers, Sephardic ballads, Arabic love songs, and selections from Claudio Monteverdi’s iconic Vespers of 1610 that echo the rapturous singing of Jewish cantors and the Muslim call to prayer.

This group of 26 dynamic performers, including musicians of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian backgrounds, joins in a celebration of shared values. All we can say is we’ll hope you’ll be there too, for this kaleidoscopic voyage through time and space to one of the holiest and most volatile places on this Earth.

Tickets typically cost $65 — but we’ve got a stack for a mere $25 - and that includes all day access to the Museum, a $25 value in itself — so make a splendid Saturday day of it!

These won’t last though, so act now or forever hold your peace!

And have a mind-blowing Night Out.

PS While you can come to the museum as early as you’d like, doors to the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium - where the concert is taking place - open about an hour before the performance, so you’re heartily encouraged to come early and get a glass of wine.
