Museum of Fine Arts
Regular hours are Saturday through Tuesday, 10 am–5 pm, and Wednesday through Friday, 10 am–10 pm.
In March, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), presents concerts featuring musicians ranging in genre and influences:
BELLS ATLAS | The Oakland-based Bells Atlas performs at the Museum on March 8, blending R&B, psychedelia, jazz and pop. Channeling at once the lo-fi beats of Tune-Yards and the sighing lullabies of Sade, the band’s alchemic music invites listeners to think and feel about life, death and the fluid in-between.
DREAMERS’ CIRCUS | The Scandinavian trio Dreamers’ Circus, which has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in Nordic world music, make their North American premiere at the MFA on March 27. Approaching arrangement from the standpoint of innovation, the group’s members—Nikolaj Busk and Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen of Denmark, and Ale Carr of Sweden—invent new forms from traditions of folk music in Denmark, Sweden and Iceland, and the far reaches of the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
