A chamber music night, in which both families will be playing together. Cosmas, the bride's oldest brother, and Timo, the groom's oldest nephew, will be playing together Mozart's Kegelstadt Trio. There will be more viola and clarinet sonatas thereafter. Dawn Perlner, friends with the bride since childhood, will specially come over from the United States to let us enjoy her playing the violin. It will be a beneficial concert for the maintenance of the Public Library.
The concert will
begin 19 O'Clock in the Salão Mourisco ``Moorish hall'',
of the Public Library of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The room
is often used in Porto Alegre's music scene for small chamber music
presentations, recitals, poem evenings (soirées) and so forth. It
is on the second floor of the building, just to the left of the wooden
staircase.
The library itself is a beautiful building. If you come a little bit
early, take a look at the interesting busts in the 13 niches around
the outer wall of the building. Do you recognize them? They are the
historical figures that Auguste Comte chose to form the positivist calender.
For example, following this calender we will marry on the day of Lord
Bacon on the month of Descartes 
. Why is
such a French calender on a building in Porto Alegre anyway? Strangely
enough, the positivist movement was very strong in Brazil, especially
in Rio Grande do Sul, and this library carries some of these remembrances
(as, by the way, does the Brazilian flag, with the positivist motto
``Ordem e Progresso'').
It is very close to the Teatro São Pedro, the Cathedral and the Piratini Palace.
The address is:
Rua Riachuelo 1190
at the corner with the street ``General Câmara''.
