BRUBECK! A CELEBRATION
BRUBECK! A CELEBRATION
NEXT CONCERT…
Saturday, June 1, 7:30 PM
Stude Hall, Rice University, Houston, TX
In 2006, the Houston Chamber Choir invited Dave Brubeck back to perform in Houston after a 20-year absence. Now, 18 years later, we join his sons Chris and Dan Brubeck, noted Houston musicians Paul English and Horace Alexander Young, along with chamber orchestra in a concert celebrating Dave Brubeck’s contributions to jazz and his explorations of new musical forms. Dave Brubeck had a significant impact on the music world and his legacy continues to influence musicians today. Though less well-known, he also composed classical and sacred music featuring his signature jazz rhythms and harmonies. They are admired by both jazz and classical audiences and have firmly established Brubeck as a leading composer of the 20th Century. What more wonderful way can there be to close our season than with this one-of-a-kind tribute concert.
