ABQ Arts Experts Don & Pamela Michaelis were featured in a Los Angeles Times article about the Church of Beethoven in Albuquerque called "Paying homage to music at the Church of Beethoven":
It is a church without preaching, and without prayer.
At its Sunday morning services there is something spiritual, all right, but it doesn't have to do with Allah, or Buddha, or God.
Instead, it comes from music, from passionate renditions of works composed by Brahms and Bach and, of course, Beethoven -- for whom the church is named.
