We’re eagerly awaiting to learn more about how these two master musicians met, hear more about what they’ve been up to this year and their plans for the future, see what tunes they might perform, and get your fantastic questions answered by these virtuosic musicians. The discussion and performances are sure to be lively and exciting, and we look forward to seeing you there!
