Avi Avital's solo performance on Metropolis Ensemble's first studio album, Avner Dorman's Concertos, earned him a Grammy nomination, as well as Conductor Andrew Cyr with Metropolis Ensemble. David Frost also received a Producer of the Year Grammy nomination for his work on five albums, including his recording of Avner Dorman's Concertos.

Drop by and join us as mandolinist and Grammy nominee Avi Avital performs with Andrew Cyr and Metropolis Ensemble musicians throughout the evening. Selections will include excerpts from Avner Dorman's vibrant, genre-bending Mandolin Concerto and more! Attendees will have the opportunity to toast with Avi, Metropolis artists, and Artistic Director / Conductor Andrew Cyr. Two free drinks per attendee, live music, raffle prizes, and all your friends!
