| An unusual and beautiful vantage point. |
I have played at the Ritz-Carlton many times over the years, but this was a new room to me. It turns out that the Pearson Room used to be a private dining club, but has been repurposed to serve as a small banquet room. Really, the room is of an unusual size; big enough for a mid-sized wedding, but small enough to feel intimate. On top of that, the view is really astonishing! You get to see Navy Pier (including the Ferris wheel), and some of the beautiful Northwestern buildings that really aren't visible from very many places.
For this particular event, they were mingling and then sat down to enjoy tea service. I played lots of wonderful love songs from Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight", through "Moon River", and up to "I Chose You" by Sara Bareilles. My goal is that everyone there should hear songs that they know and love, no matter if they are the grandmother of the bride or the niece of the groom!
Visit my repertoire pages to see if I know any of your favorite songs!
