Toni Lynn Washington
Presented by Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant & Music Club at Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant & Music Club February 25, 2012 Come see Toni Lynn Washington at Johnny D's! Moments before Toni Lynn Washington takes the stage, you might see what appears to be a quiet, unassuming woman standing patiently out of the spotlight. But look quickly, because once the music starts, four decades of performing will kick into gear, and she’ll soon take control of the room like a pool shark running the table. Special performers are gifted with the innate ability to throw that “switch”. You know, that ignition of...

All-Beethoven Program
Presented by Boston Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall February 23-February 25, 2012 Beethoven's Missa Solemnis is one of the most significant works by one of the greatest of all composers.

Beethoven intended the Missa Solemnis celebration of the election of his patron Archduke Rudolph as Archbishop of Olmütz in 1820, but didn't complete it until 1822. German maestro Kurt Masur conducts, with the...
