Free (No Strings Attached)

Above: Members of the Belin Quartet alternate among performances and include John Helmich, Tracy Engman Finkelshteyn, George Work, Julie Fox Henson, and Sherida Josephson. Learn more about each of them here.

 

Yet another joy of the season returns with the outdoor concerts of the delightful Belin Quartet. Most Fridays through July, you can find them performing from 12:15 to 1 p.m. For example, this Friday (May 26) hear them at People’s Plaza, located at the foot of the State Capitol’s west terrace. On June 2 and again June 9, they’ll be on the lawn of the Central Library downtown. For details on the complete series, click here.

Can’t make it to a Friday concert? Bring a blanket or lawn chairs to the Johnston Public Library Sunday, June 4, at 7 p.m. when the Belin Quartet performs for Sundaes on Sunday. Like the quartet’s Friday outdoor concerts, it’s free — and this one includes ice cream!
