You’ve probably heard rumors and rumblings about our new season – and if you were at the "Legendary Love Stories" concert, you also had a chance to hear from Jung-Ho about the amazing program he has created. Take a look at this quick sneak preview video.

2019 marks the 70th anniversary of South Pacific, winner of ten Tony awards in 1949. It’s still the only musical production to win Tony Awards in all four acting categories.

Our guest artist for Legendary Love Stories, Natasha Paremski, began her piano studies at the age of four! Born in Moscow, she moved to the United States when she was eight, becoming a U.S. citizen shortly thereafter, and is now based in New York.
