Schroeder would probably not understand why the Chicago Bar Association Orchestra & Chorus thinks it necessary to include works by anyone other than Beethoven on its forthcoming December 13 program at St. James Cathedral, 65 E. Huron Street. Who would need or want Mendelssohn, Mozart, or Schubert in a program so close to Beethoven's Birthday?
And, yet, this variety is promised in the flyer for the concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. (click to enlarge or clarify):
Advance tickets are available at this
Eventbrite link. Tickets are $20 apiece for adults, $15 each for persons 18 or under or law students. There are fees associated with online purchases, but tickets purchased online are still cheaper than tickets sold at the door. Limited tickets will also be available at the door ($25 for adults, $20 for students) roughly a half hour before the program begins.
Also, for any of you who might not remember, Beethoven's Birthday is December 16. Probably. But it's not entirely certain. On the other hand, December 16 is the date that Schroeder and Charles Schulz always observed.
Most people, with the possible exception of Schroeder, might even consider tickets for this concert to be a good gift for Beethoven's Birthday.
