Beloved Tenor Daniel
Rodriguez was the New York City cop who helped bring the country an uplifting
spirit of promise and hope with his stirring rendition of "God Bless America"
after the September 11th terrorists attacks. Daniel has appeared on
television's The Late Show with David Letterman, Larry King Live,
Live with Regis and Kelly and The Oprah Winfrey Show, among many
other high profile events and debuted with Chelsea Opera Company in New York
City as "Canio" in Pagliacci.
One year later, Opera
Online honored him with the title "Best Performance by a Leading Male" for
his portrayal of "Canio" with Granite State Opera. |

Accompanied by piano and
bass, Daniel will be joined by his talented wife, soprano Marla Kavanaugh, who
won praise from San Francisco critics as "The voice of a sorrowing angel" for
her poignant portrayal in The Prince and the Pauper. Their musical program
will tell a beautiful story of how they met and include songs from the US and
Marla's native country, New Zealand. |
** THE ABRAMS
BROTHERS -
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2012 - 7:00 PM
|
|
This Canadian trio of
teenagers (fourth-generation musicians) is not shy about sharing their
country-flavored style with the world. The Abrams Brothers merge the
sounds of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie with their own homespun panache to create
never-before-heard music.
Barely adults, Elijah, John
and James are artists in every sense of the word and already have the
credentials of veterans. Having performed at the Grand Ole Opry, toured
Europe in 2006, performed at Jacob's Ladder Musical Festival in Israel and
received the Daniel Pearl Memorial violin in 2006, their bluegrass, gospel vibes
are sending waves of recognition to the legend Arlo Guthrie himself, "I know I
will be hearing from The Abrams Brothers for a long time to come," he said.

42FIVE - SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2012 - 2:30 PM
|
|
What's an instrumental band
with no instruments? It's not "magic" or "make believe". It's simply
the voices of five guys: Ryan, Earl, Geoff, Danny and Layne -- known better as
42Five.
They've come together to
create a new form of entertainment singing songs we all love, from the '60's to
the tunes of today, including Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," Queen's "Don't
Stop Me Now" and Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World." This award-winning
a capella quintet is the entertainment for all ages, for all families and
for all size audiences.
From the trumpet to the
drums, you'll hear it all from their voices without a glimpse of shiny brass or
drumsticks scattered on the floor. |
|
This new, innovative group is
setting the bar high and using their techniques to bring to life vocal
impossibilities. Not only do they melt audiences with their flawless
harmonies, their charming sense of humor is sure to create a stir in the hearts
of everyone. |

Grand Prize and Gold Medal
Winners of the Prestigious Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, the Prima Trio
distinguishes itself not only with the remarkable playing, but through the
repertoire it performs.

actually plays four instruments. Gulia Gurevich (born in Uzbekistan
to a distinguished musical family) switches between violin and viola.

clarinet and Anastasia Dedik (1st prize winner of the Lee Biennial Piano
Competition and the Cliburn Institute/Piano Texas Concerto Competition) is a concert pianist. |

Prima Trio's repertoire
ranges from beloved chamber music standards to such exotic gems as Armenian
composer Aram Khatchaturian's soulful "Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano" to
S.I. Glick's festive "The Klezmer's Wedding." "Serenade" by American
composer Peter Schickele (aka P.D.Q. Bach) is the grand finale of every concert. |

** LEGACY OF
FLOYD CRAMER ~ JASON COLEMAN -
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2013 - 7:00 PM

Floyd Cramer is one of the most admired
instrumentalists of all time. His signature piano styling is exemplified
by the smash hit "Last Date", and can be heard on classic songs by countless
music legends, including Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley.
Floyd's distinctive sound is still alive and
powerful today through the music of his grandson, JASON COLEMAN, who has been
playing the piano since he could reach the keys. After Jason made his
Grand Ole Opry debut at age 17, he was given the honor of playing for the
Country Music Hall of Fame Medallion Ceremony recognizing his grandfather's
induction into the Hall of Fame. |
|
Jason has taken to the studio
and stage for his own career producing a collection of his own albums and
embarking on his first-ever nationwide tour. The Legacy of Floyd Cramer
highlights the songs that featured Floyd on the original recordings or were
Floyd's own self-penned hits. With these exciting and nostalgic
performances, Jason Coleman is ensuring the "legacy continues". |
