Sunday, February 14 at 8 p.m.

Join Mark Perzel for Love Greetings, a two-hour special that provides the perfect backdrop for your romantic Valentine's Day celebration.

Featuring lush classical music and wonderful romantic poetry, Love Greetings couples melodies that are bold, passionate and affirming with gentler tunes that play like soft musical caresses. Not all of these pieces were written with love in mind, but each of the melodies will touch your heart.

Included will be Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21; Elgar's Love's Greeting; Lizst's Dreams of Love #3; Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro; Canzone of Love by Bodorova, and many more.
