THE 5 BROWNS

Presented with the generous support of Joyce and M. Anthony Burns

"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" and "60 Minutes" thrilling millions with their stunning interpretations of Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Gershwin, and Stravinsky.

Nominated three times for a Latin Grammy Award in the jazz and tango categories" Iaies combines something borrowed and something blue into something entirely new.

Pierre DØrge and the New Jungle Orchestra

A part of the Carnival Center – Chivas Regal Jazz Series

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 Dørge 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, Dørge and company create their own, very entrancing world of jazz.

The New Jungle Orchestra US April'07 tour has the sponsorship and financial support of the Danish Arts Council

Dino Saluzzi, bandoneon,

with Anja Lechner, cello

Ojos Negros

Boundaries in art are made to be broken and bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi and cellist Anja Lechner do just that—brilliantly: between composition and improvisation, between folk music and jazz and tango, between concert and cabaret. With Piazzola smiling from above, these two famed ECM stars (he from Buenos Aires, she from Munich) invite you to hear their latest CD performed live. An intimate evening of music that is warm and longing, meltingly beautiful, soul-stirring in a way only the tango—traditional or Nuevo— can be.
