We’ve got two shows coming up in the course of a few days that should be on your “must see” list.
When we booked HAHN-BIN (he uses only capital letters) last summer as part of our Young Concert Artist Series, we thought he was a unique performer – a world-class violinist and performance artist. Since then, the world has taken notice of this 23-year-old protege of Itzhak Perlman. He has signed with one of the biggest agencies in classical music, he’s appeared on the Today Show, played Carnegie Hall and MOMA in NYC and been featured in The New Yorker magazine.
To get an idea of what you’ll see, check out the review of HAHN-BIN’s recent show at Joe’s Pub in New York. Here’s the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-luce/hahn-bin-performance_b_1139009.html?ref=email_share
HAHN-BIN
As he told Jenna Bush Hager on the Today Show – “I think the classical music world has been sort of taking a nap – and I’m here to wake them up.” Check out that clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo9KRUq2dW0&feature=related

Better yet, see him live and later you can tell people “I saw him at the Palladium before he was such a big star…” His concert is Wednesday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m.
Then on Saturday, we kick off our Broadway Cabaret Series with The Great White Way’s top baritone – Marc Kudisch and his band.
His cabaret show, What Makes Me Tick, has played to rave reviews at Feinstein’s At the Regency and Signature Theater in NYC. Here’s an excerpt from one review:
” In his mind-blowing, entertaining and yet intimate new cabaret show, What Makes Me Tick, Marc Kudisch divulges, among other revelations, that as a young boy, he longed to be Harry Houdini. Well, Mr. Kudisch works magic of a different kind in his delightful show, which is part of Signature Theater’s Sizzin’ Summer Cabaret series. Fresh off a critically-acclaimed run at Feinstein’s at the Regency, Kudisch has fashioned a tribute to songs and artists that have made him “tick” as the Tony-nominated and Helen Hayes Award-winning Broadway and regional musical theater star he is today.
Marc Kudisch“The title of his cabaret refers to a song cut from The Wild Party (the version composed by Michael LaChiusa), one of Kudisch’s numerous Broadway appearances. Kudisch starts the show teasing the audience with a variety of songs from his childhood that all start with the same downbeat (from Blood Sweat and Tears to Fiddler on the Roof to “Puff the Magic Dragon” to Cabaret).”
