Remembering Beethoven

Today marks the 185th Anniversary of the death of Ludwig van Beethoven. So Melody and I went down to the Winspear Centre for Music which is located in the heart of The Arts District in downtown Edmonton.
A string quartet from the University of Alberta was performing a free concert over the noon hour.
A wonderful performance in a world class facility

@swguevin I find classical music so relaxing

[bkb in the city]

@cindyrez The tower on the left is just an office tower. The tower on the right is just part of the Winspear Centre. I am not sure if it is actually used for anything in particular

[bkb in the city]

@mrssmith sometimes the Symphony Ochestra puts them on as well

[bkb in the city]
