An American in Paris
FEBRUARY 8
SATURDAY | 7:30 PM
There's no warmer, cozier, more charming party than 4 hands on one keyboard. From the intimacy of Fauré's Dolly Suite to Gershwin's irrepressibly optimistic An American in Paris, plus the sizzling virtuosity of Saint-Saëns' D minor violin sonata -- this will be an unforgettable night!
