St. Augustine's in-the-woods

Art doesn’t just entertain—it transforms. 🎨 Studies show that engaging with the arts can reduce cortisol levels, lower stress, and improve overall mental well-being. 🌿 Join us for an event that offers more than just a fun afternoon out; it offers an alternative to stress, anxiety, and burnout. 🌱Rembrandt, Vermeer, Steen - painters who could capture light and life like no other - are recognized as giants in the world of art. Yet the music behind the artwork has largely overlooked for the past few centuries. Get ready to discover hidden gems of the Dutch Baroque, including works by Sweelinck, one of the most influential organists and teachers of his age, the brilliance of viola da gamba virtuoso Carel Hacquart and the richness of Johann Adam Reincken's counterpoint, admired by no less than J. S. Bach himself. This multimedia experience is a feast for the eyes and ears as we take in the visual splendor of the Dutch Master painters. ARTISTS Tekla Cunningham, baroque violin Manami Mizumoto, baroque violin Ryan Farris, viola da gamba Henry Lebedinsky, keyboards

Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) - Girl with a Pearl Earring, ca. 1665. This well-known painting is an example of a tronie - not just a portrait, but a character study of a person's face focusing on a particular facial expression or feature. This is a visual analogue to the individual movements of a baroque sonata or suite, each an in-depth exploration of one affect or idea, both focused and rich in detail.
