CAFÉ MUSIC

From Martinů's delightfully zany ballet La revue de cuisine (The Kitchen Review) and Rossini's whimsical piano miniature Anchovies to James Grant's Triple Mocha Indulgence for bassoon and piano and Paul Schoenfield's exuberant piano trio Café Music, this mouthwatering program serves up a delicious menu of musical delicacies.

​Performed by an all-star ensemble of internationally acclaimed soloists, rising young virtuosos, and principal musicians of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Café Music promises a sparkling afternoon of musical wit, dazzling virtuosity, and culinary panache.
