Drop by and join us as Avi performs selections throughout the evening from Avner Dorman's vibrant, genre-bending Mandolin Concerto, Béla Bartóks rhapsodic Roumanian Folk Dances, and selections from Bach. Attendees will have the opportunity to toast with Avi, Metropolis artists, and Artistic Director/ Conductor Andrew Cyr. Two free drinks per attendee!
