No shining armor here but we do have a Knight worthy of your attention this Valentine's Weekend. As the first classical composer of African descent to achieve widespread acclaim, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint Georges made even Mozart green with envy. In a Beerthoven first, Artisan String Quartet will present three different programs in the same weekend, including three different quartets by Joseph Bologne, Beethoven's Romeo-and-Juliet-inspired Op. 18 No. 1 string quartet, and quartets by Edward Grieg and Borodin, whose work inspired the musical Kizmet.

Beerthoven will serve warm pastries and cold beer generously provided by Easy Tiger and Lazarus Brewing as well as wine and non-alcoholic beverages-all at no additional cost! Beerthoven Concert Series events are family-friendly, and kids are welcome! Free parking is available behind the Museum.
