Meyer's own composition infused with jazz and blues, Meyer will dazzle
you with his mastery of eclectic styles. Then, the intoxicating
rhythms of La Valse ("The Waltz") will sweep you off your feet!
Feel like you've had a bit of the bubbly at a ball without ever lifting

Enjoy an intimate evening of beautiful music. Sample music
from different eras - spanning the Baroque, Classical and Romantic
periods. Which will be your favorite? Discover it tonight!
A Philharmonic trio — harpsichord, flute and violin — take the
spotlight as the Philharmonic performs J.S. Bach's famous
Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 for the first time! A romantic story unfolds with Wagner's Siegfried Idyll
— a surprise birthday present he composed for his wife after a joyous,
life-changing event. Ravel's intricate melodies and Haydn's
clever themes also contribute to an evening of many moods.
