In the debut presentation of Chopin Meets Broadway, Peisha McPhee and Sergiu Tuhutziu brilliantly bring to life a combination of classical music and Broadway standards. The show includes classical repertoire, including some of the most famous and romantic works of composers such as Chopin and Rachmaninoff, ingeniously arranged to match a variety of Broadway standards by the likes of great American composers from George Gershwin to Stephen Sondheim. This unique pairing of musical styles will create the flavor of a new musical genre.
