For the first time, VERITÀ Baroque transforms the galleries of the Chazen Museum of Art into a living stage, creating a multisensory encounter with visual art. Musicians are placed throughout the museum, filling each room with live Baroque sound as visitors move from gallery to gallery.
Guided tours become journeys where audiences experience art not only with their eyes but also through sound, rhythm, and spatial awareness. This integration of music, dance, and visual art invites visitors to step inside the artworks themselves, reimagining the museum as a complete sensory landscape: unforgettable and transformative.

The 2026 Madison Early Music Festival (MEMF) celebrates over 20 years of excellence in early music while inaugurating a new chapter. Since its founding in 2000, MEMF has been a cornerstone of Wisconsin’s musical landscape, bringing international artists, scholars, and students together to explore historical repertoire through concerts, masterclasses, and community engagement. The 2026 revival honors this legacy while expanding the festival into an immersive, interdisciplinary experience—uniting Baroque music, dance, visual art, and innovation.
