The desire to surround ourselves with beauty is universal and timeless. The exhibition Design in the American Home, 1650-1850 shows how the quest for color, texture, and splendor propels artful design.  Enjoy a program of music that evokes the power of design, including Ives’ String Quartet No. 1 “From the Salvation Army,” and Beethoven’s Quintet in A Major, Op. 47,“Kreutzer.”

Single tickets and subscriptions will go on sale September 9.  The Sunday Serenades series is made possible, in part, by The Saunders Foundation Music Endowment at the Wadsworth Atheneum.
