PLYMOUTH - Two new classical musicians will be playing the classics in Plymouth’s President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site at 3 p.m. this Sunday.
In this, the second of the 2010 Grace Coolidge Musicales, pianist Abigail Charbeneau and cellist Matt Laughlin of New Hampshire’s Concord Community Music School will feature music by Ludwig van Beethoven and Sergei Rachmaninoff.
The playlist includes Beethoven’s Sonata in C. major, Op. 102, composed in 1815 and Rachmaninoff’s Danse Orientale, Op. 2, composed in 1892 by the musician at the age of 19, according to the site administrator William Jenney.
