91原创 Community Music School (LCMS) presents an evening of Beethoven with the school鈥檚 Resident Ensemble, The Rose Gellert String Quartet.
The physically distanced concert will take place in the school鈥檚 Rose Gellert Hall on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m.
The quartet, comprised of violinists Will Chen and Llowyn Ball, violist Peter Ing and cellist Ben Goheen, are excited to reconnect with the community.
鈥淒espite the enormous challenges of the past months, we found creative solutions that enabled us to practice together and continue sharing our music - virtually and, more recently, in person,鈥� said first violinist, Chen.
In honour of Ludwig van Beethoven鈥檚 250th birth year, the quartet is presenting Beethoven鈥檚 String Quartet cycle throughout the year.
In June, the group presented a virtual concert of Beethoven鈥檚 String Quartet Op. 18 No. 2. and, in July, gave a live performance of Beethoven鈥檚 String Quartet Op. 18 No. 6 to a small, in-person audience at LCMS.
鈥淭hat concert renewed our appreciation for performing live,鈥� said violist, Ing. 鈥淭he audience members were wearing masks, but we could still see the smiles in their eyes as we shared the energy of the beautiful music. It was a very emotional experience.鈥�
