Sarasota Orchestra – Romantic Rendezvous

Love songs from the movies and the record charts fill Romantic Rendezvous, presented in Holley Hall in the Sarasota Orchestra's Great Escapes lineup. The program runs from Max Steiner's Casablanca and its signature tune, As Time Goes By, to Nat King Cole's L.O.V.E. and the love theme John Williams wrote for Superman, the music behind Lois Lane's night flight over Metropolis. On the podium is Mélisse Brunet, the Paris-born conductor who leads Kentucky's Lexington Philharmonic, the first woman to hold that orchestra's top post and the subject of the documentary Maestra.
