Alba Quartet Plays at Cantigny

Cantigny Park’s Robert R. McCormick Museum will host the Alba Quartet on Sunday, February 12, at 3 pm.

Tickets are free, but distribution is by lottery due to limited seating in the museum’s historic Freedom Hall.   Those wishing to attend should call 630.260.8162 or emailregister@cantigny.org by February 3.  E-mails should include a phone number. Cantigny will draw 40 names and contact ticket recipients by February 8.  Each winner will receive two tickets.

The Alba Quartet is comprised of flute, violin, viola and cello. “Alba” means sunrise in Italian and this group will surely be a welcome ray of sunshine on a chilly late-winter day.  The quartet enjoys sharing their love of music through classical, pop and jazz-inspired selections.

The 2012 McCormick Museum Concert Series will continue on Sunday, March 11, and Sunday, April 15, with performers announced in the coming weeks.  All concerts in the series are free.  Parking at Cantigny is $5 per vehicle.

The McCormick Museum is closed in January and will reopen in February for free guided tours.  Hours in February are 10 am to 4 pm, Friday through Sunday. The museum returns to its usual Tuesday through Sunday tour schedule in March.
