THE VOICE OF BRUBECK: THEMES AND EXPLORATIONS

MARCH 21, 2025 ♦ MOORES OPERA HOUSE

THE VOICE OF BRUBECK: THEMES AND EXPLORATIONS is the second concert of the Voice of Brubeck series. The performance will take place on March 21, 2025 at 7:30 PM at the Moores Opera House of the University of Houston. The program includes new arrangements of Dave Brubeck’s jazz works and his five-movement orchestral tour-de-force, Theme and Explorations, commissioned by Andre Previn for the Pittsburgh Symphony.

The Moores School of Music Symphony Orchestra (dir. Franz Anton Krager) will share the stage with Chris Brubeck (Dave’s son), Simone Gundy, Horace Alexander Young, and the remarkable Paul English Quartet. The concert will offer a unique opportunity for the audience to experience Brubeck’s versatile and complex musical narrative unrestrained by stylistic boundaries.

The program will be professionally recorded. It will appear on the Voice of Brubeck – Volume Two album to be released this Summer.
