FREE Wirth Institute Series - Enterprise Quartet 12pm today!

Join us for our third FREE performance under the theme 'Great Patrons of Central European Music', a new series sponsored by the Wirth Institute at the University of Alberta. These noon-hour concerts take place in the lobby of the Winspear Centre.

This concert features two string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 18 Nos. 2 and 5. Beethoven's Op. 18 quartets are nicknamed the 'Lobkowicz quartets' after Joseph Franz Maximilian Lobkowicz (1772-1816), a famous patron of music.

Introductory remarks by Dr. Franz Szabo, Department of History, University of Alberta.

Make your lunch hour extraordinary! And with free admission, why not bring a friend?
