The 2017 season of the Olympic Music Festival concludes with an all-Beethoven weekend! Formed sixteen years ago in Israel, the Ariel Quartet is a recipient of the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award and serves as faculty quartet-in-residence at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. The dynamic quartet will perform two programs featuring works from Beethoven’s early, middle, and late periods. This special weekend includes two unique pre-concert lectures presented by longtime OMF artist and Beethoven scholar Paul Hersh. Learn about Beethoven’s astonishing compositions and their history before experiencing them live in concert. We expect both performances to sell out – secure your seats now!
