Featuring Pianist Pedja Muzijevic

'Ludwig van Beethoven Sonata, Op. 7.... and so much more!

Mainly Mozart's Club Amadeus memebers arrived March 9th, 2008 to the exquisite La Jolla estate of Claire Reiss for a special concert by Pianist Pedja Muzijevic. Claire graciously welcomed Mainly Mozart patrons for a reception first of Napa Ridge wines, mojitos, and catered cuisine by Mosaic Catering.

The mini lamb chops were incredible. And Claire's incredible Asian art collection was breathtaking.

But beyond breathtaking was the incredible performance by Bosnian-born pianist, Pedja Muzijevicist., The outside performance was in Claire's back garden with guests seated on white chairs. Although there are two parlour grand piano's in the home, Pedja Muzijevic performed on a concert grand piano brought in especially for his concert. Beethoven, Wagner and Liszt were played brilliantly. After all this was Pedja, an artist with many, many worldwide standing ovations to his credit.

Riveting and inspiring the concert was. You could have heard a pin drop. Or in this case, an occasional spontaneous seagull chiming in which was politely joked about by Pedja at the end of his performance.

Charming, talented, and with a sense of humor, guests were drawn to Pedja at the post concert reception. Desserts, coffee and conversation flowed about a perfect Mainly Mozart afternoon.

Among the patrons there were Colleen and Augusto Angelucci, Ernie Ligon, Reinette and Marvin Levine, Jeanette Maxwell and James Kisvardai, François Sulic, Nancy and Radomir Bojanic, Sue and Ron Heller, Petra and Georg Hochfilzer, Judith and Duke Johnson, Mary Walker, and Esther Nahama.
