Upcoming Events
July 30, 2020
Allan Conway's Beethoven Concert
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in December 1770. This year marks the 250th anniversary of that date. Here in Tolland in the tumultuous year 2020 we will celebrate this occasion with the fifth season of Beethoven on the Green. Minister of Music Allan Conway will present two video performances of Beethoven’s piano music on Thursdays July 30 and August 13. New works will be presented and perhaps some highlights from past years will be included. Mark your calendars for the Zoom “Watch Party” which will be held at 10:00 AM on those dates. The videos will be posted on the church website thereafter.
