Church of Beethoven is bringing back live music to Northern Colorado!
We present a 2021 summer series of socially-distanced, shaded, outdoor classical concerts outside on the shaded patio of Avogadro's Number Restaurant, Fort Collins, on Sunday afternoons.
Tickets: $16 online/$20 at the door for adults 30 and older.
$9 online/$10 at the door for those under age 30.
The Church of Beethoven is a ‘church’ with no preaching, just a one-hour-long program presenting classical music (45 min), spoken word art (10 min), and a two-minute celebration of silence. We begin at 3 PM sharp, and end by 4 PM. Book signings will be available by featured spoken word artists and Avogadro's delicious menu is available for dining.
Not just a concert, not quite a church, the Church of Beethoven was originally founded by American cellist Felix Wurman, in Albuquerque in 2007. Wurman started this organization “to create a new concept in classical music… to get rid of the ‘fourth wall’ between the players and the audience and create a more familial feel… a community.” The Church of Beethoven aims to nurture community through culture, and elevate the soul through art: “Really, the idea is to find spirituality through culture, through the cultural gifts that so many people have suffered for and created over so many generations. There’s so much information there that’s useful.”
