Tony-Winning 'GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE' Composer to Mentor Local Youth in Bethesda

Steven Lutvak, 2014 Tony Award winning composer/lyricist for Best Musical for A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER, will teach a free master class, and offer a Q&A and cabaret concert on Monday, January 25th from 7:00pm-9:30pm at St. Mark Presbyterian Church (10701 Old Georgetown Rd, N. Bethesda, MD 20852).

Young Artists of America at Strathmore will host the event and many of their local, talented young performers will be there to learn from someone The New York Times calls "an upper-middlebrow Billy Joel crossed with a lower-highbrow Tom Lehrer with a pinch of Debussy."

Lutvak is in Washington, DC helping to open the first national tour of A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at the Kennedy Center, which will play through the end of January.

Admission is FREE, but RSVPs required via youngartistsamerica.org/events/educational-events/masterclass-a-performance-with-steven-lutvak. Spaces are very limited.
