Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
Mr. Gutiérrez has appeared regularly with the
world’s greatest orchestras and on its major recital
series. His Telarc recording of Rachmaninoff ’s
Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 3 was nominated for a
Grammy Award. His television performances in
Great Britain, the U.S. and France have been widely
acclaimed and won him an Emmy Award for his
fourth appearance with the Chamber Music Society

SEPTEMBER 30- OCTOBER 2
Tony Kishman Actor, singer and recording
artist Tony Kishman doubles as
featured performer and
producer of Live and Let Die.
He also developed and stars in
the Beatles tribute show Twist
and Shout and starred for six years in both the
national and international tours of Broadway’s
smash hit, Beatlemania. Mr. Kishman has been
regarded as the quintessential Paul McCartney
because of his uncanny resemblance both
visually and vocally to the beloved Beatle. He
also performs in the well-known and highly
successful Beatles symphony show, Classical
Mystery Tour, which has toured to great acclaim,
filling concert halls throughout North America
and Europe. Today, Mr. Kishman plays the
original Hoffner Bass that was provided to him
by the producers of Beatlemania in 1978.
