The Hummel Military Septet Concert, conducted by Michael Paul Gibson, features seven outstanding musicians performing the Military Septet by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Hummel once lived with Mozart and Beethoven was fond of Johann's wife. Also presented is Water Music by George Frederic Handel arranged for brass. The Menlo Park Community Chorus, in their "Premiere Appearance," joins us in dedicating our performance of Irish Blessing to John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette. Come and experience it for yourself!
