Burning River Brass

Burning River Brass

A holiday treat! Returning to Holter Auditorium with their crowd-pleasing Christmas program is one of America’s favorite brass ensembles. Burning River Brass serves up a touch of tradition, a dash of jazz and a healthy measure of festive cheer with time-honored carols and their very own big band “Nutcracker.” Phrases such as “power and virtuosity” and “harmonious blend” have been used to describe the sparkling sound of these Cleveland-based performers, but “entertaining” is really the one best descriptor.

Burning River Brass, based in Cleveland, Ohio, started when a group of friends, who just happened to be outstanding musicians, wanted to play together on a consistent basis. Within two years of its debut performance in 1996, the group was touring nationally.

In 1999 Burning River Brass recorded its first CD–Of Knights and Castles.  Met with great critical acclaim, it was followed by Russian Carnival in 2000 and Romanza Espana – Spanish Masterworks for Brass in 2004.  During the 2005 holiday season, Burning River Brass released its long requested Christmas CD – Christmas Around the World, followed by the 2008 release of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. CDs will be sold at the concert.

Burning River Brass has been heard on NPR’s Performance Today and Sunday Baroque as well as radio stations throughout the United States and abroad.

Lilya Zilberstein

Lilya Zilberstein

Three for the price of one! For two decades the Moscow-born Lilya Zilberstein has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most fabulously gifted artists, winning prestigious international competitions, appearing as featured soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony, and Montreal Symphony, among others, and making critically acclaimed recordings for EMI and Deutsche Grammophon. A longtime favorite of Civic Music and Peninsula Music Festival audiences, she’ll return to perform music by Rachmaninov, Schubert, Mozart, and Brahms.

Making this an extra-special evening for Civic Music subscribers, she’ll be accompanied by a pair of rising young talents – her sons Daniel, 20, and Anton, 15, making their American concert debut! Already performing professionally as the Duo Gerzenberg, they have been featured in concert with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra, and Daniel won first prize in the Steinway Competition in Hamburg. Lilya Zilberstein is represented by Schmidt Artists International, Inc.

* This concert opens a two-night dual engagement in partnership with the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra. Civic Music members are eligible for a reduced-rate ticket of $20 for Saturday night’s Symphony concert, also at Holter Auditorium, with Ms. Zilberstein as featured soloist on Dimitri Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and Strings. The program also includes music of Bach, Mozart and Copland. Designate this additional purchase, if desired, on your membership order form.
