This eclectic program is a little like the classic “who would you invite to a dinner party?” Bach provides the amuse bouche with a selection from his Well-Tempered Klavier, then a new work by Errollyn Wallen (recently appointed Master of the King’s Music in the United Kingdom) that combines traditional English folk flavors with a contemporary zest. Mozart, possibly the ultimate charming dinner companion, closes the first half with a fluidly sparkling work for piano and strings. Grab a drink at intermission in the lobby of this historic former movie theater, then enjoy a generous helping of “chamber cabaret,” hosted by bassist/composer/arranger/vocalist Nate Farrington. From Chopin to Chick Corea, Bach to the Beatles, Nate’s World is the icing on the cake of this delectable musical soiree.
