The festival kicks off on Feb. 4 with a free event--the first of monthly get-togethers ("meet-ups with music," we call them) focused on Beethoven, each one with a discussion, live performances, film excerpts and guests, at Nyack Library. This first one will be vital, as we solicit ideas from creative artists and others in the community. We even have a Meetup page.
Then a Rivertown screening in Nyack on Feb. 13 of the terrific A Late Quartet, with a panel (including well-known former members of quartets) to follow. The first two concerts at the library in the festival are March 2 and March 23. Later: the complete string quartets, Diabelli variations, and Choral Fantasy, all live-streamed nationally and internationally.
And throughout: full public participation, joining in with their own Beethoven music, playing and singing and dancing. So stay (well) tuned!
