If you're free on Sunday mornings, love music of all kinds, enjoy great handmade coffee and tea, poetry, group-singing and the cameraderie of people with similar interests, then the Alibi, Daily Lobo, Albuquerque the Magazine and now Albuquerque Journal -recommended Church of Beethoven is for you! We present a one-hour program of music and poetry each Sunday morning. For details on this week's program scroll to the bottom of this screen.
 
On July 27, 2008 at 10:30 am, flutist  Rachel Ciraldo will play "Daydreamer" by Geoffrey Hudson.   Also on the program, the String Quartet No. 1 Opus 49 by Dmitri Shostakovitch performed by David Felberg and Ruth Bacon, violins Ikuko Kanda, viola and Felix Wurman, cello. Poets Lisa Gill and Maureen Seaton will write for the occasion.

Only in week twenty five, we have generated an unusual amount of interest from the press and the public in general. We are very thankful for all the support we have received so far and are fully committed to providing an exciting and unique event each Sunday morning.

 Our venue is The Filling Station, a converted gas station at 1024 4th St. SW in Barelas, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The historic building seats 100 and has great sight lines and acoustics. The espresso bar, by EspressoArtists, is open one hour before and after the show with a full line of espresso-based coffees and hand-bagged teas.
 
Video presentations of our programs  are available for viewing in the comfort of your home on YouTube (keyword: churchofbeethoven) and on New Mexico public access channel 27  Saturday evenings at 9:30 pm.  The program is co-produced by Cindy Young and Felix Wurman.

Please come at 9:30 am for coffee.
