“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to perform the premiere of Gordon Goodwin’s “Fantasia for Soprano Sax & Orchestra.” It’s a very special piece of music and I am especially excited to be performing it with the Symphonic Jazz Orchestra. This is a group of extremely accomplished Los Angeles based musicians and I’m so proud to be performing along with them. With the amazing Jane Monheit as well, I know these performances will absolutely come to life.” — Eric Marienthal
