The Avalon String Quartet Plays Beethoven at The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association

The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association presents "Signature Beethoven," part of a concert series by the Avalon String Quartet performing the complete Beethoven String Quartet Cycle. The fiery Opus 18 #4 perfectly captures the tempestuous style Beethoven was searching for in his early years. The first of his "Late Period" quartets, Opus 127, is noble and expansive, with a heroic and uplifting conclusion. All series concerts are held on Wednesday afternoons at 3:00 at the Charitable Association's historic building at 178 Forest in Oak Park. Each concert has a designated local organization to which freewill donations may be made. This concert will benefit the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry.
