The West Virginia University Piano Quartet will present its annual spring concert Tuesday, March 17 at the Creative Arts Center with a program featuring works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Robert Schumann.

The concert will begin at 8:15 p.m. in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall (200A) and is free and open to the public.

Featured performers on the program will be Andrea Houde, violist, William Skidmore, cellist, James Miltenberger, pianist, and Margaret Cooper, violinst. Cooper is making a guest appearance with the group in place of Mikylah Myers McTeer, who is on sabbatical leave from the University this semester.

Margaret Cooper is no stranger to the group, having filled in before in 2006-2007 while WVU searched for a new violin teacher. She is a member of the West Virginia Symphony, and she has a large private violin studio in Charleston, West Virginia.

The concert will feature two major works from the chamber music genre beginning with what probably is the most frequently played Beethoven Piano Trio—his Op. 70, No. 1, commonly called the “Ghost”—and it will close with the monumental Piano Quartet in Eb Major of Robert Schumann.

There is no admission charge and the public is cordially invited to attend.
