Happy Birthday Mozart!

For someone who died in 1791, Mozart sure knows how to throw down for a great party. Week 2 at Rush Hour featured composition from many eras of his career, and it also included lots of cake and fun times for audience members, musicians, and staff. Don't miss out again -- when we say party, we mean it!

Our wonderful volunteers sliced and are setting out the cake with fresh strawberries, cookies, and brownies before we open the doors.

Anne, Robert, and Patricia have been Rush Hour fans for a while. As music aficionados, the enjoy the opportunity to hear artists of such high calibar at RH.

Audience members were thrilled for the opportunity to enter the raffle for the tantalizing cake (see the next caption for more info).

Raffle winner Nelson Sarmiento with his enviable prize, a beautiful cake donated from Austrian Bakery, at 2523 N Clark. The little Mozart figure is made entirely of marzipan and is edible. Congratulations Nelson, we hope you enjoy it!


This adorable party-goer enjoying her cake is Maia, the daughter of pianist Kuang-Hao Huang.


Hwan and Heayoung saw RH brochures at the Cultural Center and were attracted to the great music.
