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
April 14 @ 8 p.m.
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.
