Beethoven in the City

In celebration of both our 20th Anniversary Season and all that the city of San Francisco and its people have done to support our efforts over the years, we spent two weeks in May 2016 performing the complete String Quartets of Beethoven in a series of FREE public concerts in unique venues throughout the city.
