Back by popular demand, these performances will feature the teaming of Maestro Matthew Savery and Ryan Anthony, one of the greatest trumpeters and entertainers in the world today.
“I never have as much fun as I do when I’m on stage with Ryan,” says Savery. “It is always an honor to be on stage with a world-class musician but even more fun when it’s a close friend.”
