A free performance by the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra (LBSO) at the Farmers & Merchants Bank building in downtown Long Beach has been postponed to June 8, 2014.
LBSO’s other free performances, as part of its “Sounds & Spaces” series, will take place as scheduled, including at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Feb. 23, Temple Israel on March 23 and the Homeland Cultural Center on May 18.
The Farmers & Merchants Bank building performance is called “Classic American 2″ and will include string-quartet music performed by the LBSO’s Roger Wilkie and Carrie Kennedy (violins) Colleen Sugata (viola) and Trevor Handy (cello). Sounds & Spaces presents Joseph Haydn’s late Quartet in G Opus 76, No. 1, written during Haydn’s return to musical life at Prince Esterhazy’s gilded Austrian palace, and AntonÃn Dvořák’s lyrical String Quartet No. 12, The American.
According to LBSO, the historic Farmers & Merchants Bank building at 302 Pine Ave. is “one of Long Beach’s most stunning architectural and acoustical treasures” and the musical works will be “right at home in the exquisite architectural detail of the interior of the bank.”
