Welcome to Music and Murder: A Beethoven Club Concert.
Come join us for an afternoon filled with thrilling music and mystery at Elmwood Cemetery on Fri May 16, 2025 at 2:00 PM CDT. The Beethoven Club will be performing a selection of Beethoven's most haunting compositions amidst the beautiful backdrop of the cemetery. Performed by pianist Jim Cornfoot and baritone Patrick Jones, this concert will explore the haunting and yet magnetic subject matter of murder and its place in music.
We’ve compiled a variety of opera arias, folk songs, and art songs that explore our centuries old obsession with true crime stories, including music by Benjamin Britten, Franz Schubert, Ruggero Leoncavallo, and Johannes Brahms. Some of these songs are based on real stories perpetrated by real criminals; some of those songs are tall tales made into urban myths. All these songs are sure to delight and shock you.
Don't miss out on this unique event that combines music and murder in a way that only the Beethoven Club can. Grab your friends and family and join us for an unforgettable afternoon at Elmwood Cemetery.
