More classical hits will include “String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor (Dresden Quartet), Op. 110: II – Allegro Molto” (Shostakovich) and “Der Erlkönig” (Franz Schubert).
Each concert will last 60 minutes (doors open 45 minutes prior to the start time, as late entry will not be permitted). Patrons must be 10 years old or older and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
