The Perfect Storm

Jeff Tyzik, conductor
Storm Large, vocalist
Aaron Meyer, violin

Calling Storm Large a “vocalist” is an understatement. She's an award-winning singer/actress who puts her unique stamp on her own songs and some you've heard many times before — but never like this. We’ve invited her to join Jeff Tyzik in a sultry program that will definitely get her “under you skin.” Also thrilling the audience will be Concert Rock Violinist Aaron Meyer!!
