It just so happened that cellist Matt Haimovitz, who likes to perform in non-traditional venues, was giving a recital there. He played the Bach Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor.  I spent some time just listening, and some time looking at paintings that provided counterpoint to the music i was hearing.  I took a few pictures, too.

I spoke to him afterwards, and he told me he found that it helped him tune into the composer's intentions. (Click on photo to enlarge).
