Weekly Keyboard Demonstration
DISCONTINUED
Our weekly historic keyboard demonstration series with Dr. Richard Sogg (pictured left) has been discontinued. We hope to resume this series again sometime in the future.
Location & Parking
The Beethoven Center is located on the fifth floor of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library on the campus of San José State University in downtown San José. We are in Room 580 in the Special Collections area.
The address is 150 E. San Fernando Street, at the corner of S. Fourth and San Fernando streets. Public parking is available in the Fourth Street Garage across the street (at 44 S. Fourth St.) and other nearby garages and lots. Metered street parking may also be available.
