Festival Grand Finale

Erickson Lutheran Church
The program will include the excellent Britten’s Suite for Violin and Piano with lots of wit and humour and an occasional sinister edge. The Beethoven Piano Quartet Op. 16 is similar to a miniature chamber piano concerto with the virtuosic keyboard part being so critical. It will certainly make a Grand Finale to the Festival.
