2018 Programs
Concert Series @ Westwood Library
Last concert of the 2018 Season! Join us on December 16, 2018 for a great concert with the library’s Quartet in Residence, the FIATO STRING QUARTET, capping another successful season!
The Fiato String Quartet brings us two of the most famous quartets in the repertoire, contrasting Debussy’s French impressionistic style with Beethoven’s unique mixture of the serious and the playful, the cosmic and the comic, in his last completed work:
Debussy – Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10
Beethoven – Quartet No. 16, Op. 135
…and a special Holiday tune to end our 2018 Season!
