The Voice of Brubeck: Themes and Explorations

Friday, March 21, 2025

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Volume Two of the Voice of Brubeck will open with a performance on March 21, 2025 at the Moores Opera House of the University of Houston. The Moores School of Music Symphony Orchestra (dir. Franz Anton Krager) and will share the stage with Chris Brubeck (Dave’s son), soloists Simone Gundy and Horace Alexander Young, and the remarkable Paul English Quartet to present some of Dave Brubeck’s largest scale orchestral and choral works. Like its inaugural edition, the program will then be professionally recorded and released later that year on Navona Records. Volume Two will feature some of Brubeck’s freshly arranged sacred vocal music, a few of his jazz masterpieces, and a five-movement orchestral tour-de-force, Theme and Explorations, commissioned by Andre Previn for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, creating a unique opportunity for the listener to experience Brubeck’s versatile and complex musical narrative unrestrained by stylistic boundaries.
