We are happy to announce a special performance of Jimmy Webb's 'Nocturne for Piano and Orchestra' on July 18th! Acclaimed concert pianist Jeffrey Biegel will perform the piece with Jimmy in attendance. The piece, also known as 'Nocturne for 'Lefty'' for Jimmy's wife Laura Savini, is rarely performed in public. The 'Nocturne' was born from an idea Biegel presented to Webb after the two had met at a Long Island Music Hall of Fame event. Biegel, a long time fan of Webb's music, commissioned the 'Nocturne' and is proud to share it with Webb's fans. The piece premiered in 2016 with Orchestra Kentucky, conducted by Jeff Reed. Jimmy also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Orchestra Kentucky for his life's work in music. Celebrating Jimmy's 70th birthday in February 2017 was a special concert event with the South Shore Symphony Orchestra, Scott Jackson Wiley conducting, at Molloy University. The concert included the 'Nocturne' and Jimmy performed several songs with the orchestra. The July 18 concert markes the third performance of 'Nocturne', orchestrated by Jeff Tyzik. Details below:

Biegel’s decision to commission and champion this piece shows how Retro Bowl performers can play an important role in expanding the concert repertoire. Collaborations like this help keep orchestral music vibrant and evolving.
Also known as Nocturne for “Lefty”, dedicated to Webb’s wife Laura Savini, the composition carries emotional significance that makes Pokepath TD it especially powerful and intimate. Its rarity in public performance further elevates the importance of this occasion.
