Mozart's 250th Birthday Party

On Thursday, Jan. 26, 2005, all residents and home-coordinators from Jacob’s Village, Wanda, Donna Kay, Debbie, Elsie, Mike, Michael, Scott, Carol, Halleck, and Barry attended a 250th birthday party. The Evansville-Vanderburgh Public Central Library located downtown at 200 SE Martin Luther King Blvd hosted a celebration for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the lobby of the first floor. The Evansville Philharmonic’s Eykamp String Quartet consisting of David Beem playing Cello, John Macfarlane, Dawn P. Ginter, and Christopher McKay all playing a Viola provided the entertainment. The residents were all familiar with this style of music because it is the same quartet that was well received when they visited Jacob’s Village back in October. The Eykamp String Quartet played four 4-piece movements from the music collection of Mozart. After the String Quartet bowed to a standing ovation and a thunderous applause from the audience of about 80 in number, everyone indulged in birthday cake, drink, and fellowship. A good time was had by all while listening to the soothing sounds of the quartet.
