Horacio Gutiérrez<br />
Considered one of the great<br />
pianists of our time, Horacio<br />
Gutiérrez is consistently praised by<br />
critics and audiences alike for the<br />
poetic insight and technical<br />
mastery he brings to a diverse<br />
repertoire. Since his professional debut in 1970 with<br />
Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic,<br />
Mr. Gutiérrez has appeared regularly with the<br />
world’s greatest orchestras and on its major recital<br />
series. His Telarc recording of Rachmaninoff ’s<br />
Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 3 was nominated for a<br />
Grammy Award. His television performances in<br />
Great Britain, the U.S. and France have been widely<br />
acclaimed and won him an Emmy Award for his<br />
fourth appearance with the Chamber Music Society<br />
of Lincoln Center. Born in Havana, he appeared at<br />
the age of 11 as guest soloist with the Havana<br />
<strong>Symphony</strong> and is a graduate of the Juilliard School.<br />

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