Following a fatal plane crash, Laura Mendes, a struggling personal injury lawyer, scampers to sign up the case of a lifetime.

Adrienne Arsht PAC
Miami, FL
"Fate knocking at the door." This symphony opens with perhaps the four most famous notes in all of music. Revolutionary in its time, it is now perhaps the best known piece of music in history. Plus, Beethoven's almost uncharacteristically joyful Eighth Symphony is an often overlooked masterpiece containing no less brilliance than his more well-known symphonies.
