THE 5 BROWNS

Presented with the generous support of Joyce and M. Anthony Burns
April 10 @ 7:30 p.m.
"One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years," (New York Post). A youthful quintet of brothers and sisters, each a virtuoso pianist, The 5 Browns (or the "Fab 5" as People calls them) landed at the top of the weekly Billboard charts with their first album and became one of the Top Classical Artists of the year. They have been seen on "Oprah," "60 Minutes," "Good Morning America" and "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where they've thrilled millions with their stunning interpretations of Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Gershwin, Dvorak, and Stravinsky.

PIERRE DØRGE AND THE NEW JUNGLE ORCHESTRA

A Chivas Regal Presentation
New Jungle Orchestra is subsidized by The Danish Arts Council

What do cutting-edge jazz, a bit of Bollywood, down-home blues, world music rhythms, and "Cheek to Cheek" have in common?: The unconditional love of Danish guitarist Pierre Dorge and his 10-piece ensemble of musicians gathered from the hippest clubs in Copenhagen. With verve, inspired playing and a healthy sense of the absurd, Dorge and company create their own, very entrancing world of jazz.
