3:00 PM | INSIDE PITCH with DAVID SERKIN LUDWIG: The Magic of Melody

Not all powerful music begins with a great melody — but when it does, the impact can be unforgettable. A beautiful, well-crafted tune has the power to stay with us, move us, and define a piece in just a few notes. Resident Composer David Serkin Ludwig will delve into what sets the greatest melodies apart, exploring the craft behind the tunes that have stood the test of time.

Join us for coffee and pastries with Gloria, Soovin, and David between events
