WINE & FOOD: The connoisseurs of The Wine Library have selected over 100 wines for every palate’s pleasure. And what would a wine tasting be without great food pairings? The Hilton’s AAA Four Diamond award-winning culinary experts will provide a first class selection of hors d’oeuvres, antipasto, pasta, cheese, and breads.

MUSIC: After his breakthrough in contemporary jazz circles as the 2009 winner of the Capital Jazz Fest Challenge, Marcus Anderson is embracing every opportunity to perform and inspire fans – and most importantly, as the title of his third and latest CD attests, fully living in the NOW. The multi-talented composer, saxophonist and flutist’s original working title was “Transition,” a nod to the powerful ongoing development of his career and his move toward the top tier of contemporary jazz. Anderson realized that the career he had always dreamed of was indeed happening right NOW, and it’s exciting. Click here to listen to some smooth music from this talented artist.
