Baroque Art and Music in DC

Bartolome Murillo - Assumption of the Virgin

I know what you're thinking:

"I'm only going to one harpsichord concert this summer, should it be a Medieval or Baroque music festival?"

Well, prepare to have your mind blown, because one event is crazy enough to feature both. 

The Washington Early Music Festival is a biennial event for lovers of early music from the medieval to the baroque, dance and visual arts.  Running throughout June, the festival features concerts, workshops, guided art tours, and other events at venues in the District.  Highlights include:
