On January 11, James Sanders will be performing a classical music concert with the French Quartet for our Second Sunday Salon series at the beautiful Colvin House located on Sheridan Road in Chicago's Edgewater Neighborhood. The string quartet will be exploring the music and creativity of Debussy, Dvorak, Puccini, Chevalier St. George, and Borodin in this presentation.

In addition to music, there will be poetry from Elizabeth Marino and live painting Lewis Achenbach. This should be a lovely evening, and if you arrive a little early, Lake Michigan is just a few steps away across the street. Link to tickets: https://conta.cc/49t4M1R
