Free concert tied to Vasari exhibit

Music from the 16th to 18th centuries — played on instruments like those in use during the same period — will fill the Spencer Museum of Art next weekend.

The Spencer Consort is scheduled to play “Throughout the Baroque,” a free concert, at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 14 at the museum, 1301 Miss. The consort features baroque flutists, recorder players, a cellist, and a harpsichordist.

Music will include a set of Italianate pieces written around the same time that Giorgio Vasari — an Italian Renaissance painter and focus of a special exhibit at the Spencer — lived and worked.
