Caprice Strings is a freelance string trio which has an extensive repertoire that embraces baroque, classical, and contemporary works.
They are professional and highly trained classical musicians who play across San Diego and Orange County. Their musical styles range from traditional classical to popular standards to songs currently on the radio.
In one weekend, Caprice Strings can be found playing on the lawn at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, the chapel at Fairmont Grand Del Mar, and the courtyard at The Prado. They have performed at virtually every major hotel in the San Diego area.
With almost 40 years of experience playing across San Diego County at wedding ceremonies and receptions, they have entertained and delighted thousands of patrons and their guests.
They have been featured at the daily luncheon in the Garden Room of the U.S. Grant Hotel, appeared in recital in the historic Villa Montezuma, performed at exclusive Nordstrom events, and played for special occasions such as the Challenger reception for Sail America, and for the inaugural cruise of the Royal Viking Sun.
Free concerts at noon every Monday year-round . . . no wonder the Mini-Concerts are the longest-running and one of the most popular classical music series at the library! This series was founded by Glenna Hazleton in 1970 at the Athenaeum, and has been going strong ever since. The concerts feature both local and touring musicians, prize-winning students, university music faculty members, local chamber ensembles. . . and the repertoire also includes jazz, folk, and world music. There are no reservations, no tickets . . . just line up at the side door of the Athenaeum before noon. (Donations are always welcome!) Mini-Concerts take place every Monday at noon and last about an hour.
The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Doors open at 11:50 a.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. These events will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of each concert.
