Church Musicians

One of the things I love about European cities in the summer (well, in fact, this is true of many cities, including Chicago...) is the number of musicians performing out-of-doors. Below is a trio playing string instruments in the entrance courtyard to the Peace Church (or Friedenskirche) in Potsdam. The church was built by Frederick Willhelm IV in the mid-19th century and includes a Byzantine apse mosaic imported from Venice.
