Join us in the Calderwood Courtyard for an evening of music inspired by the art and culture of the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires (1450–1750). Performances will be led by musicians from Harvard University and the New England Conservatory.This concert is held in conjunction with the exhibition Imagine Me and You: Dutch and Flemish Encounters with the Islamic World, 1450–1750 (May 18–August 18, 2024), which explores the rich and diverse encounters that occurred between artists from the Low Countries (part of the Habsburg Empire) and the multicultural, multilingual, and multifaith societies of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires from 1450 to 1750. A myriad of cultural, diplomatic, and mercantile interactions took place during this time, either in person or through the exchange of objects, art, and ideas. The exhibition traces these multiple encounters through the world of Netherlandish artworks and their varied representations of the Islamic realm.
We look forward to welcoming you to this musical encounter with the Islamic world.
