Sunday Feb. 27 2011 ~ 2:00 pm ~	FAITH: Mention jazz pianist Dave Brubeck and you think of such classic jazz standards as Take 5 and Blue Rondo A La Turk. But Mr. Brubeck is also a composer, and has written powerful, exciting jazz music for choir and orchestra. Among the best is a piece called To Hope! A Celebration. Composed in 1979, the music to "Our Father" came to brubeck in a dream. Soon after he became Catholic because he felt "somebody's trying to tell me something!" Featuring the Bravo! Chorale and Jazz Orchestra To Hope! A Celebration is a testament of faith, hope, love and joy from America's foremost jazz composer.

Upcoming Concert: Sunday, April 17th, 2011 at 2:00 pm


Sunday Apr. 17 2011 ~ 2:00 pm ~	FAITH: A contemporary "faith trilogy" concert featuring music by three contemporary composers. British composer John Rutter's music is performed by choirs around the world. His seeing of the Requiem is one of the most beautiful and features gorgeous, memorable melodies. French composer Francis Poulenc's Gloria is full of joy and life! Croatian musician Pero Sisa composed his Pie Jesu for boy soprano in memory of his father. It has a haunting, beautiful melody that will touch your heart. The Bravo! Chorale and Orchestra join together for this Palm Sunday concert.

Sunday May. 8 2011 ~ 2:00 pm ~	JOY: Join us for an afternoon of chamber music classics. With its romantic melodies, Johannes Brahm's Clarinet Quintet (composed for string quartet & clarinet) is regarded as a masterpiece from the pen of this 19th century Austrian composer and pianist. Aaron Copland's Sextet for Clarinet, Piano & String Quartet is a challenging tour de force for the band - and a hot "toe tapper" for the audience. And George Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F for Two Pianos is just pure joy. Now THIS is fun music!
