This able early music ensemble plays the music of the Dutch Baroque -- yeah, the Netherlands generated some excellent music as well as paintings then, even if no one listens to that music any more -- in galleries featuring Dutch Baroque paintings.  The power move is to drop in on the 6:00 PM (half-hour-long) set before seeing the unmissable El Cimarrón in the Museum's auditorium at 7:00 PM.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  If you don't go to El Cimmarón (but WHY???????), might as well take advantage of the opportunity to dine at the eminently charming and delicious '70s-NYC-French throwback The Simone.
