Saturday, August 24, 3 - 4PM
Join us for a relaxing afternoon of beautiful music. With its warm timbre, the viola is perfectly paired with the guitar, and well- suited for the warm, intimate setting of St. Peter’s Chapel. The varied program will feature works by Franz Schubert, Astor Piazzolla, and Gabriel Fauré.
The doors will open at 2:30pm, giving you time to enjoy the luminous Tiffany stained glass windows in the chapel.
Our two performers are both accomplished musicians.
